Right. So you're walking past something and don't have a pen or paper to 
hand it makes sense to snap a picture of a QR Code to note it for future 
perusal. The product in question (timetables, pictures, sounds etc) is 
not tangible it's electronically delivered and the QR code is just a 
shortcut to get it.

Its very different for tangible products like DVDs where you have the 
thing in your hand. I am unconvinced that someone would even notice the 
QR code on each and every product. Maybe if there was a banner up people 
could take a picture of the QR code, but it seems overkill on the 
product itself.

Anyway, that's all an aside. I think it's great that someone is taking 
Ubuntu and packaging it up for people using his own resources. More 
people should do this :)
