Tech > You Know What the Perfect DVD Player Would Have?
The ability to skip the "unskippable" parts of DVDs, like the stupid copyright warnings. I have some discs with unskippable ads for THX. I always hated seeing the "no skip/fast forward" icon on the TV, but now that I'm playing DVDs for two year olds it's really annoying.
Does the MPAA really think that making the copyright warning unskippable ever stopped anyone from pirating DVDs? More likely it makes people resent paying for DVDs, just like CD jewel cases that break in a week make people resent buying CDs.
I like what this guy said:
I know how to tell real from pirated: pirated DVDs don't take over your DVD player to keep you from skipping through the 60-second anti-piracy movie.
