Fed up with anti-piracy adverts on DVD's
|

Unable to skip forward
he people who HAVE copied versions of the film probably won't see this message anyway. Those of us who are honest enough to go out and BUY the DVD are FORCED to watch them!

I don't know if this annoys anyone else, but when I buy a DVD I don't want to spend five minutes watching the anti-piracy advert or the film companies trailers, some go on for ages and it wont let you skip them or fast forward.

| 03-5-2008 | I wrote to the anti piracy lot FACT on just this subject a number of weeks ago. It really annoys me for the same reason as you suggest: I bought the DVD so I don't need the lecture (which, by the way, is noisy, in your face and VERY annoying) and those who use pirate products, probably have the...more | pooh_bear138 |
| 07-4-2008 | I agree, I think it is time for the Record and Film companies to reduce the prices of CDs and DVDs to a more rasonable price, then Piracy would be less of an issue. Although I am not saying it will dispense with it completely, because there will always be people who want something foe nothing, but I...more | Titewad |
| 03-4-2008 | Get used to it people. It's about to get worse!
DRM - or Digital Rights Management is happening and it's on the increase.
Just this week Virgin have announced that they are planning to hit people who use their internet connection for file sharing and I suspect that soon other major ISP'...more | blacklion |

| 19-3-2008 | Monty & Smiffynotts, a good gripe and one that I thoroughly endorse. Though I don't agree that a piracy message at the beginning of any DVD is acceptable, especially one that assumes that I AM about to commit piracy. I just bought the damn thing!
As you say, where the publishers' phil...more | Honest Pirate? |
| 19-3-2008 | Unsurprisingly, seven times out of ten they won't buy an original because, despite raving over the feature content, they can't stand the piracy message or the trailers! However, if I lend them an original that was produced by Paramount, and they really enjoy the film, they usually place an o...more | Honest Pirate? |
| 19-3-2008 | This gripe prompted me to finally investigate properly how to get a unrestricted player working on a PC. Happy to report, in the free Knoppix 5.1, you can play a movie DVD and fast-forward or skip, anytime. Bye-bye, obnoxious copyright nag. So long, tedious swirly studio logo. I'll miss you, mor...more | Pip |
| 18-3-2008 | Thanks for the tip Bluebeard, I will try it and let you know how I get on later. Happy Copying :-) | Titewad |
| 15-3-2008 | Yeess! I hate it when I press the Fast Forward button and a little "No" symbol appears on the screen, a circle with a line through it. What?! How dare a mere machine refuse me! | Pip |
| 13-3-2008 | e should asking ourselves why do we pirate DVDs and the like. Why do we have to? The actual copying costs for a DVD cannot be more than a £1. So why are they selling DVDs for £15.99 or more? Answer Greed, pure and sheer capitalist greed.
The copyright laws give the owners of a copyright...more | Buccaneer |
