Pay-to-view DVD coming to a Sunday newspaper near you soon

Look out for a new Pay-to-view DVD scheme this Autumn, launching in the UK through the Mail On Sunday. Devised by a company called DVDPay, the newspaper’s familiar DVD movie freebie will offer a second film which can only be viewed when paid for and unlocked.

Will this be a single use only code?

I would think not, as there is no return path, so they would not know how many times you have viewed/used the code. Can`t see this working to behonest unless they manage to get some top films, although with no validation etc the security isn`t going to be great so would probably worry movie studios. Anyone know how it`ll work, ?serial number on disc which is used to generate "unlock code", standard code for all discs or codes all fitting same algorithm but not tied to any specific disc
