I've never pirated a videotape, DVD, HD DVD, Blu-ray, whatever. I've never downloaded anything illegally. Never.

However - if you content providers keep putting commercials, previews, obnoxious Don't Steal PSAs, etc. and locking down the controls so that I can't choose to skip them and just watch the movie I paid for, you're going to drive me to piracy.

That is all.

But it would secure you a spot along with the millions and millions of consumers that hate like hell the fact that they can't just put the damn disc in and have the movie start from the opening credits with the soundtrack that they want and not have to bother with pressing any button but OPEN/CLOSE (or in the case of the PS3, just putting the disc in the slot) to have that happen. I know that's a run-on, but fuck it. And fuck the studios for not telling the lawyers that advise them to do this stupid shit to STFU on this issue.

Just give us what we paid for first and save your "extras" for after the movie.
