DVDs, Blu-Rays To Show 20-Second Unskippable Govt. Warnings

Posted by samzenpus on from the education-screen dept.

bonch writes "DVDs and Blu-Rays will begin displaying two unskippable anti-piracy screens, each 10 seconds long, shown back-to-back. Six studios have agreed to begin using the new notices. Of course, pirated versions won't contain these 20-second notices; however, an ICE spokesman says the intent isn't to deter piracy but to educate the public."

  1. Twenty Seconds? by sycodon · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Twenty seconds...that's too much for you to suffer through?

    Fuck, get a drink or take a piss. You probably won't have time to do either.

    If this is the level of inconvenience that would cause anyone to get upset, they need to see a shrink because they have issues.
