Whoever drew this little 'infographic' (click on the link or picture to see what I'm talking about) does a nice job of illustrating what I've said about DVD anti-piracy sermonising for a while now. The big advantage to stealing movies instead of paying for them is that you don't get treated like a criminal (you may wish to reread that sentence). If I could buy legitimate DVDs for maybe 50p extra that weren't loaded up with warnings, ads and trailers I think I'd go for it. Currently my only option would be to strip those things out myself, quite possibly breaking the law. I do hope we all get our heads screwed on straight about copyright before I have to read e-books full of ads, warnings and official threats.

Aren't they just hateful? My granddaughter took the remote from me and pressed 'Menu' (this is how you get rid of them, Papa) and then looked crestfallen when it made no difference and she had to sit through all the junk. BUT the other day I actually had a DVD that went straight into the movie. I was chuffed to bits - until I realised the dialogue was in French.
