Here’s a couple more things that could fit on your list:
1. Any form of media, whether it be books, TV, movies, or video games are impossible to find new after a year or two of coming out, only used, which doesn’t go into their pockets anyway, so they don’t factor in to them making more, which is the reason I buy new stuff when I could get it pirated. Why get them used when we could get them for free easily, if only they’d stop being so anal and shutting down websites that have content that they aren’t even making money on anymore.
2. I can’t remember where this quote came from, but it fits my next point well: “The law is on the books, but it would take all their resources to enforce it”. Ever since the invention of the internet, this has gone even further than that, it is no longer possible to enforce copyright law at all, because for every one person that is jailed for violating it, countless more are violating it with impunity, and more will always be on the way. Besides, it’s pretty much impossible to prove whether a website is legal at any time, and even if it is legal, it could be illegal in only the next few seconds.

Attn: Michael, a.k.a. Richard Head. I have a Sherlock Holmes DVD with a SEVEN minute intro- a bullshirt ‘commercial’ for the publisher’s other DVD titles. The intro cannot be bypassed. You can’t FF, can’t chapter+, can’t manually enter a chapter number to get to the movie main menu. So stick that in your shoe and walk a mile on it. Seven minutes feels like 15 when you’re watching boring commercial crap. So please STFU.

Add this to the list…. NOBODY CARES to watch the dipshirt intros for the publisher, movie company etc. The Paramount, TriStar etc. animations. Even the Lucasfilm THX thing is beat and has overstayed its welcome. All I want to do is watch the movie.

the point is – I bought your fcking DVD – and now you are forcing me to watch MOSTLY your OWN commercials for YOUR next movie YOU want me to buy (unskip).

btw. Fast Forward works most of the time (sad dvd std.)

@ExFiler

Why are you not getting laid?

Try picking up the soap in the prison shower instead of complaining about it.
