The Problem with DVD’s

I don’t buy a particularly large number of DVD’s but when there is a film I have liked or have been recommended I might be convinced to buy the DVD. I brought Serenity last week because I loved it at the cinema and have been a huge fan of the TV show - Firefly.

After unwrapping and sticking it in my DVD player I’m then forced to sit through almost 2mins of adverts that cant be skipped telling me that piracy is stealing and that copyright infringement supports global terrorism. I have just spent £12 on a DVD, I don’t need to be told that piracy is bad because I just brought it!

Talk about preaching to the wrong people but the film industry have it all wrong, why does someone that has just brought a DVD then need to be told not to steal it? It’s annoying that the film industry can get away with alienating their customers so much and it’s hardly surprising so many people are turning to the Internet to get content.
