I know it's a terrible stereotype that Americans have no idea about the geography of the outside world, but a 250 mile error (*Paris* is closer to London than Sellafield is) makes BNFL's 30kg look utterly innocent...
That's self-fullfilling stupidity. If you don't support anything but IE, you'll quickly see 99% of your visitors using IE, because other browsers won't get far in the site, and they won't bother coming back. People don't change browsers just to get to your site - they just don't bother visiting again.
The creator of the site has fallen into the common misapprehension that excluding 10% of visitors is acceptable. 10% doesn't sound like a lot, till you realize that it's 10% of a very large number of potential visitors. It's not coincidence that the most successful sites on the web go out of their way to be accessable to all. Let's all club together and buy these people a copy of "Designing Web Usability"...

More modern MPEG encoders cope very well with animated scenes. Early attempts were, admittedly, quite awful. You won't want to go back to LD once you've seen a well-encoded DVD.
I don't think they do expect it to stand up in a court of law. People who've experienced BT and their "services" will know they just want your money for doing as little as possible.
