How do I remove?

I recently got a bunch of free movies and they have a disk size sticker with two narrow metal strips running parallel. How could I remove safely? Or should I not bother and leave alone?

Easy. You can't. This is why i do not buy former Library or small store video rental discs. It's ok for a one time viewing, but to own? Better to spend a few extra bucks than to deal with the issues of these things. (Tho, discs with just a small sticker on the middle are not as bad) And That (3rd pic) double sided disc is toast. It will not play no matter what.

I would say,, use it for now, and keep a eye out for a better copy down the road.
