I find the patronizing attitude of these disclaimers to be pretty obnoxious too. Isn't it ironic that the only way a person can avoid the wasted time and (IMO) unnecessary messaging is to break the law by circumventing copy protection?

I couldn't take the constant pressure, and I snapped... I now EXCLUSIVELY watch pirated movies. If some *sshole in a movie studio gets to take away my choice of how to spend my time, watching previews and warnings I do not want, instead of the movie I paid for, then I refuse to pay. I now buy DVDs 4 for $20, all pirated and all before the official release. Welcome to free will, movie studio assholes! I get paid more in the time I'm forced to watch previews and warnings than a DVD costs. Either take the mandatory shit off, or pay me for my time, or I'll watch all pirated movies. Those are your choices. Again, WELCOME TO FREE WILL, SH*THEADS!
