A compact disc coupled to a wireless communication device comprises the disc with a metalized outer portion, a wireless communication chip and a pair of tabs. The first tab may capacitively couple the wireless communication chip to the metalized portion of the disc. The second tab may be positioned in an inner portion of the disc with a gap delimited by the metalized portion and the second tab. A slot antenna is thus formed through which the wireless communication device may communicate. Wireless communication chip allows disc to be interrogated and identified for a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to security, advertising and promotion, and issuing of related coupons to customers for subsequent purchases.

1. A disc having a metal region for the storage of data thereon coupled to a wireless communication device,the disc comprises an outer metalized portion and the outer metalized portion includes the metal region; andthe wireless communication device comprises:a wireless communication chip;a first tab
1. A disc having a metal region for the storage of data thereon coupled to a wireless communication device,the disc comprises an outer metalized portion and the outer metalized portion includes the metal region; andthe wireless communication device comprises:a wireless communication chip;a first tab positioned on the outer metalized portion;a second tab spaced from the outer metalized portion by a gap with the wireless communication chip positioned between the first tab and the second tab; anda stub extending from the second tab across the gap;wherein the metal region of the disc is used as part of an antenna for the wireless communication device. 2. The disc of claim 1, wherein said disc is a compact disc. 3. The disc of claim 1, wherein said disc is a mini disc. 4. The disc of claim 1, wherein said disc is a DVD. 5. The disc of claim 1, wherein said second tab forms an annulus positioned over an inner portion of the disc. 6. The disc of claim 1, wherein said first tab capacitively couples to said outer metalized portion. 7. The disc of claim 1, wherein said first tab directly couples to said outer metalized portion. 8. The disc of claim 1, wherein said wireless communication device includes a memory. 9. The disc of claim 8, wherein said memory is operable to store the identification of said disc. 10. The disc of claim 8, wherein said memory is operable to store whether or not said disc has been legally purchased. 11. The disc of claim 9, wherein said identification is an artist or musical group name. 12. A method of communicating information related to a disc having a metal region for the storage of data, comprising:positioning a wireless communication device on the disc wherein the disc comprises an outer metalized portion and the outer metalized portion includes the metal region;coupling a first tab of the wireless communication device to the outer metalized portion;positioning a second tab of the wireless communication device on an inner portion of the disc and spaced by a gap from the metalized outer portion of the disc;extending a stub from the second tab across the gap;coupling the metal region as part of an antenna for the wireless communication device; andinterrogating the disc with an interrogation reader. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein positioning a wireless communication device on the disc comprises coupling a first tab of the wireless communication device to a metalized outer portion of the disc. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein positioning a wireless communication device on the disc comprises positioning a second tab on an inner portion of the disc and spaced by a gap from the metalized outer portion of the disc. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein said interrogating further comprises reading a memory in said wireless communication device. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein said interrogating further comprises comparing said memory to determine if said disc has been legally purchased. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein said interrogating further comprises identifying said disc. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said memory contains a name of the artist or musical group. 19. The method of claim 15, further comprising generating a trigger event in response to said interrogating. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein said trigger event is an alarm. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein said trigger event is an audio alert. 22. The method of claim 19, wherein said trigger event is a visual alert. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein said visual alert comprises a visual message created by and artist associated with said disc. 24. A method of communicating information related to a disc, comprising:positioning a wireless communication device on the disc by coupling a first tab of the wireless communication device to a metalized outer portion of the disc and positioning a second tab on an inner portion of the disc and spaced by a gap from the metalized outer portion of the disc and positioning a wireless communi cation chip between said first and second tabs such that the gap between said outer metalized portion and said second tab acts as a slot antenna; andinterrogating the disc with an interrogation reader. 25. The method of claim 24, wherein interrogating the disc with an interrogator comprises interrogating the disc at a frequency such that the first and second tabs act as an antenna for a response. 26. The method of claim 24, wherein positioning a wireless communication chip between said first and second tabs such that the gap between said outer metalized portion and said second tab acts as a slot antenna comprises positioning a stub across the gap to form an asymmetrical slot antenna. 27. A wireless communication device, comprising:a wireless communication chip;a first tab coupled to a metalized outer portion of a disc and electrically connected to said wireless communication chip;a second tab adapted to position on an inner portion of the disc and electrically connected to said wireless communication chip; andsaid second tab adapted to be spaced from the outer metalized portion so as to form a slot antenna therebetween. 28. The wireless communication device of claim 27, further comprising a stub extending from said second tab across a gap delimited by the outer metalized portion and the second tab. 29. The wireless communication device of claim 27, wherein said wireless communication device is sized to fit on a compact disc. 30. The wireless communication device of claim 27, wherein said wireless communication device if sized to fit on a mini disc. 31. The wireless communication device of claim 27, wherein said wireless communication device is sized to fit on a DVD. 32. The wireless communication device of claim 28, wherein said stub is positioned so as to create an asymmetric slot antenna.
