Then flag it? I only submitted it because of the other piracy post, but it's not like my heart is very much attached to it. I only saw it on Twitter yesterday (and did not submit at first), not a year ago on Reddit.

Although I admit, I also tend to swear when trying to watch a DVD.

Another interesting experience is trying to explain a DVD player to your granny.

It's maddening that they spent lots of money on creating fancy menus that only make usability worse. Every DVD has a different menu, so there is no way to explain how to use it in a consistent way. Unless the DVD player is good enough to somehow get around it reliably.




My granny is afraid to watch the Inspector Wexford (like Murder She Wrote without the sex and violence) DVD from the library

A BBC dective (none) drama aimed at little old ladies that shows a "you are a criminal funding terrorists and drug dealers" commercial after each episode. She thinks the DVD player knows about something she has done!

It also slightly confuses me how DVD piracy 'funds' drug dealing - I wouldn't have thought that drug dealing was a cost center?
