I’m home sick at the moment and I’ve spent the last 3 days in bed watching DVDs.
I hate copy protection warnings.
This finally got bad enough for me to post about after watching House Season 2 DVDs, after *EVERY EPISODE* you have to sit through a ~5 minute warning (which can be fast forwarded, but not skipped) then two CP/Macrovision warnings that can’t be fast forwarded or skipped.
If I downloaded all these episodes I could just watch them, pause them, play them and not be constantly interrupted by warnings.
It’s bad enough I have to get up every 4 episodes (plus commentary re-watches) and get the warnings once per DVD, but now I get them ONCE AN EPISODE.
Sigh, Times like this I really wonder where “companies treat customers like criminals” and then “criminals treat customers like people”. Can anyone explain this to me in a way that makes sense on any level of reality?.
