It's great that you don't have to be reminded not to shoplift or speed, but I'm willing to wager that you wouldn't shop at a store that made you listen to a 30 second lecture on the illegality of shoplifting from the cashier while you're checking out, or buy a car that would make you listen to a 30 second recording about the illegality of speeding before it let you put it into gear and drive off.
You forgot to say every time you start up you're car. This isn't a one time warning. Every time you watch the tape you as the legal customer will be told how wrong it is to steal something that doesn't belong to you.
Lol I noticed I said tape instead of DVD. You see how outdated and useless this practice is people? It's so old and has had so little effect I instantly thought of the fucking 80's when they mentioned this. You know what would combat piracy?
Offering on demand DVD's for a low price. I know they have Netflix and such already, but not everywhere in the world yet. A world wide, no DRM or copyright measures service that beams whatever you want to watch, at any time directly into your home or portable media device would basically make piracy obsolete.
Why? Because with piracy it's still a huge risk, with keyloggers, having to find the right sites, downloading the damned things. If a legitimate service would pop up that would allow you to do basically the same for a small fee per movie or episode that operated worldwide, but also offered security from viruses and life streaming, I think pirates would have allot less grip on the web.
