Yeah, I remember the Associate member thing---that was the first shot at David's if I recall.

It was and it was really the first time DVD/DVC gave owners something that gave insight into where they sat the line between renting within the rules and renting to a degree that you could be seen as doing it for a commercial enterprise, purpose and practice.

What was this? This is before my time.

Way back in the day, the way David's worked was: you gave him/one of his agents Associate Membership privileges on your account. That allowed them to make reservations directly, so you didn't have to deal with rentals directly at all. DVC eventually limited the number of accounts on which any one person could be an Associate Member to put a stop to that particular strategy.

That would definitely have been an easier business model for David’s.
