   Excellent. I completely second the notion!

   It's something I've felt strongly about for ages, and it was nice finding this graphic on the interwebs. I normally manage to get past them either by setting the DVD to play 16x or by claiming to be in some country that doesn't force anti-consumer propaganda down your eyes the moment you insert a disc...

   Top avatar, BTW =)

   it drives me crazy too

   doesn't it just make you want to rip the disk to remove the offensive things.

   luckily I have a dvd recorder that let's you browse the contents of a disc - so you *can* skip through them.

   in t'future I'm guessing that soon you'll only be able to buy dvd recorders in t'shops like in the days of vihs recorders - who'd buy just a video player?

   I've done just that on a disc that had such egregious anti-copying technology that it barely played on our cheap DVD recorder (but, unsurprisingly, could be copied on a PC without issue). It's not just the Piracy ads you have to sit through as well, it's the mountain of company idents as well. Pain in the bum. When I'm watching on a PC I use VLC which gracefully ignores all the anti-consumer-freedom data and just plays the DVD - bliss.

   I have a tendency to run purchased dvds through a rip/burn cycle that strips off all the anti-consumer rules, and replaces the anti-piracy ads with pictures of my cats. I can immediately hit 'title menu', and I have the original safely tucked away.

   Pictures of cats=genius. I may have to do the same!

    So true.

    I'm going to leave now because I can feel the fury rising already.
