If I were Redbox, I'd be a bit cautious and make sure BT fixes their image before getting too cozy. Last thing a good biz like Redbox needs is to be smeared with copyright infringement claims or being associated with pirates. Their system is easy to use already and could lend itself to piracy for those interested, but has kept a clean and solid image in the eyes of the public (and media).

Two that I would like to comment on... Brand and Redbox partnership. You have correctly pointed out that BT is in trouble, and if they are going to survive they need to develop their brand name... what easier way than to partner with someone who needs their technology to compete in the online market but already has a brand name. It's a true win-win... You make a number of very good points. Two that I would like to comment on… Brand and Redbox partnership.
