Don't understand it..
When will manufactures get it in their head that to beat Piracy you have to provide a better product than they ("the pirates") can.
no point in selling a DVD or blu-ray for 20 odd quid or more, creating lots of screens telling people not to copy it, more screens saying how this is protected under copy right laws (sit down shut up, no it is not as it still gets copied...oh and this annoying advert taken out!) a little movie asking you what things you would or would not steal..hand bag etc...
then a menu with the crap bits like extras and "behind the scenes".
no total rubbish.
Because at the moment the Pirate versions for blu-rays etc look just as good, you can download from so many different sites, some include a fee and some are free.
You download it, you double click it..it plays.
What they (the film industry) need is a DVD/Bluray that you put in...and the film just starts!
Then they could include another disk with all the extras and crap that no-one really watches.
Because at the end of the day when I rent/buy a film the last thing I want is some patronizing screens telling me how much trouble I could get into for copying this DVD/bluray.
hang on I have just paid for this!? why are you telling me!?
Also the industry does not get much sympathy from me when they post up the latest figures from Harry Potter sales and you see the MTV Cribs.. not exactly poor are they?
Any more thoughts?
Or am I the only one that thinks this?
