"oh, right. If I had just pirated this my content wouldn't be delayed by these stupid piracy warnings."

    Sony lost any moral high ground when they put a commercial for a Toyota on my Blu-ray of 1408 which retailed for $35 at the time. And of course, you can't skip it.

    That reminded me about those long, unskippable previews on DVDs... extremely annoying. VLC at least could skip straight to the disc menu though, pretty much ditched Windows Media Player and PowerDVD after that.

    Now here I am on the high seas, with all my media consumption devices running some flavor of Linux. Have not had a single annoyance since.
