My mind was absolutely blown by a Disney video that my wife bought for my 4 year old son (101 Dalmatians - cartoon version).
The lead in was a short clip on the dangers of piracy and the poor transfer quality that you get. (Yes, that why I've bought it from you, Disney. Why are you telling me this anyway when, if this message appears I have clearly bought your product anyway? Do you think that pirates will copy this section too?)
This is followed by a promo for pretty much every current Disney release (Yes, I know that you exist and, thanks to your advertising omnipresence I not only know all of your films but can sing pretty much every theme tune!)
Then another warning about the evils of piracy. (I've *bought* the flipping tape already!)
The advertising is interrupted by the film...
Bringing up the rear is yet more advertising for Disney films. (*I know, I know, I KNOW*)
The pirates on the other hand have the audacity to only copy what we want to see. Oh, the irony...

Portable.NET 0.6.4 now has a fairly good C compiler that can compile C to IL bytecode... Like C, only slower. ;-)
