Re: The force feeding of your 'DOWNLOADING MOVIES IS LIKE STEALING A CAR' video at the start of all your recent releases.
Don't, you bunch of cunts. It is rubbish, invasive and factually incorrect.
While you're at it, you can remove the pointless and unskipable copyright notices shown in every language known to man, too. Also, some people might be watching your show on DVD for the first time, so don't have menu images which spoiler the episodes on the disk (e.g. Nina coming back in 24).
Sort yourself out, you rubbish people.

Don't forget to report any activities arousing suspicion to the cinema staff.

Come on, the copyright notices aren't THAT annoying, especially on the 24 sets. It's funny you mention that thing about spoiling Nina's return because I'm currently going through the DVD releases (thoroughly enjoying them) and I was kind of pissed off at that. I'm going through the sets start to finish because I tried to get into watching 24 when it was on the BBC but I said to myself I'd wait until I could go back and watch it from the beginning and I've only just got around to doing it. I know some people are doing this with Lost because I'm sure you literally would be lost if you tried to watch it halfway through the season. The beauty of torrents means I'm up to episode 15 of season 2, but now it's on a 3 week break (or 'hiatus' as people from a country somewhere to the west of here say).
Yes, I download video, but I know I'm gonna buy the DVD sets so I'm not 'stealing' anything. That fucking advert IS annoying. 'You wouldn't steal a car.' er, if someone left the keys in, yes I would... 'You wouldn't steal your Grandmother's pension.' er, I think I need it more than she does... 'You wouldn't steal your mate's girlfriend.' er, if he's out doing the night shift at Tesco, yes I would... 'You wouldn't steal a movie.' well, I stole this one matey, so suck on that! He he.

Yeah, the 24 sets are much better. But take Buffy and Angel as an example of my gripe. There's no 'Play All' function, and those fucking copyright notices turn up after every episode! It may only be a minute or two, but it's so needless and annoying. If other companies don't need to bombard people with notices they can;t read or understand, then they don't.
Not least because they're comparing downloading films to criminal offences. Copyright infringment is not a criminal offence, as far as I understand.
