[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 932653, member: 2013"] Slightly OT, but I have some DVDs that do that... and it's one of my biggest pet peeves as well. It comes down to the old battle: "I made the movie, I should have control over how it gets watched." vs. "I bought the movie, I should have control over how it gets watched." IMO, taking away the ability to FF, skip, etc. on DVDs is creating a broken product... since I am paying for the DVD, I expect the person creating it to cater to ME. I am financing it. Therefore, it should do what I want it to, not what the creator wants it to. Because it's MY money that is, ultimately, giving incentive for the creation. If they try to please me and miss the mark, fine... but by creating a product that obviously caters to their desires as to how it should work, and does so [i]at the clear and deliberate expense of them deciding to ignore my desires in order to cater to their own desires[/i] I have a problem with that. Again, it's MY money you're after, so you darn well better make it useful to me before you worry about making it useful to you. :( Kind of the same reason I am against password-protected PDFs. They don't stop piracy and they just annoy legitimate customers. And if I go much farther, I'll go off into an anti *AA rant and gripe about how broken copyright law is and that copy prevention combined with the DMCA (possibly the worst piece of legislation ever) has amounted to literally the end of growth of the public domain in the U.S. - but that would be getting political, and that's not allowed here, so I'll shut up. :) --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
