Patent ID: 8000582

Claim:
A device for rendering a digital media unusable, wherein the media includes a volume descriptor that stores information allowing for use of the media, the device comprising: a frame; a spindle protruding from the frame and configured to engage a center hole of the media, thereby operable to constrain relative motion between the frame and the media; two or more scraping elements attached to the frame, wherein at least two of the two or more scraping elements are operable to damage a volume descriptor of the media when the frame is moved with the constrained motion relative to the media, wherein a first one of the two or more scraping elements is positioned between 21 millimeters (mm) and 23 mm from a center axis of the spindle, wherein a second one of the two or more scraping elements is positioned between 21 mm and 23 mm from the center axis of the spindle, and wherein the first scraping element and the second scraping element are positioned to scrape a full circle on the media when the frame rotates approximately half of a circle relative to the media.
