For many years we have used a product called "Carpel-O-Peel" to remove
the labels from used videocassette cases with good results.  I'll try
to find a source for it.  The active ingredient is listed as "Mineral
Spirits."  We use the same removal techniques John relates.  If you use
a brush, please remember to wear appropriate eye protection.
