you could donate one and at the same time claim (somewhere really anonymously in the internet) that you want to destroy that tape with that player for protection. They then might actually 'want' to investigate

  1. the tape
  2. the player

(3. possibly also you)

after doing 1 and 2 they then actually have the technology AND the hardware to play that stupid tape.

if they do 3. and ask you who you want to protect, you can truthfully say "law fulfillment"

always think outside the box AND around the corner ;-)

hope that helps
