I have to agree with you about these ads. Let it be known that I DO NOT advocate burning DVDs and CDs, but I dislike this ad to no end. It's too extreme...
I just get the sense that the next scene will read something like this:
"You wouldn't punch your grandmother in the mouth, and then burn her house to the ground, would you?!
Then don't download music..."
Come on

... is what is said on the advert here.
GOSH! I'm glad someone told me that, I could have gone my whole life without knowing
But its all weighed down even further with the "downloading pirated movies"... schtick, which makes the thing almost meaningless.

"Prohibited User Operations," the instructions on commercial DVDs that prevent the user from skipping or fast-forwarding past the increasing ammount of junk at the beginning of a DVD. Some DVDs won't let you skip the coming attractions!
The industry is just giving consumers one more reason to rent and burn a DVD (removing the junk in the process) instead of purchasing it.

By "Burning" I think you mean "Ripping/copying."
What is wrong with copying a CD or DVD if you own it? Of course, copying a DVD may bypass it's copy protection technology which is a violation of the DMCA, although copying something you own is technically legal.
My friend makes copies of his favorite DVD's, ripping out the extra audio tracks, menus, and advertising, so when he puts the DVD in, it begins playing the movie immediately.
With all the extra, nonsensical laws 'protecting' the copyright of the movie studios and recording artists, it looks like the law of first sale is going the way of the dodo. Really, these laws don't prevent piracy, as you don't need to crack any encryption to duplicate a DVD.

- I guess I meant downloading what you don't own, and then burning copies. -nt- - TopPop 10:48:22 02/26/06 (1)

it gives me a headache as well, with the rapid fire camera work. - Duilawyer 00:48:13 02/26/06 (0)
But you are forced to watch it in "Walk the Line". VERY GOOD movie by the way, Robert Patick was very good as the vil father, but not all that different from his Termiator role. No emotion, just anger. But lots of good dailogue. Reese can sing too! Goofiest looking thing I have seen in leading lady, but she can act.
