Select china, they have no copyright laws so it skips the annoying ads. Before those ads show, there’s a country selection screen – this doesn’t select the language of the DVD, just which ads play.

What gets me (apart from,I've just paid for this, you fuckers, piss off) is their little "movie piracy is stealing". Oh, like theft? No, because theft is dishonestly appropriating property with intent to permamently deprive. Can't do that with intellectual property. Movie piracy is copyright infringement, not stealing. Different kettle of fish, thank you very much. Innit though? What gets me (apart from,I’ve just paid for this, you fuckers, piss off) is their little “movie piracy is stealing”. Oh, like theft?

Yeah, they irritate me too – so much so that I thought I’d write a comment…
