I think what would be interesting here would be if people could start re-purposing these as local, “digital little libraries” to go along with those cute little glass-doored boxes in neighborhoods. Would allow people to trade movies, music, maybe even ebooks somehow.

I’m not exactly sure what it would take to allow someone to contribute a disc or something to the system, but I’m sure some enterprising hackers and tinkerers could figure it out!

We have something like this the next city over from us where there is a vending machine for smaller 8 page zines. I’m thinking of applying to get into it myself
