Warner Brothers Hiring Undercover Anti-Pirates

Posted by samzenpus on Monday March 29, 2010 @11:29AM from the WB-privateers dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TorrentFreak reports that Warner Brothers UK is hiring college students with an IT background to participate in an internship that will pit them against pirates on the Web in an effort to crack down on illegal digital distribution. The intern will literally be on the front-lines of the epic battle against pirated content, ensnaring users in incriminating transactions, issuing takedown requests, and causing general frustration amongst the file-sharing population on the Internet."

The Invention of Lying had *Literally* 20 minutes of previews.
You could not skip them.
You could not reach the title screen through top, or menu.
You could not scan through them (at the end of the first trailer, it would simply repeat.)
Ultimately had to use a title/chapter search feature of my dvd player to get to the title.
20 minutes of unskippable bullshit? seriously, it made me want to crack the disk before sending it back to netflix.
