Ads on DVD's?

:wtf:

The bill allows for technology that lets families edit out explicit scenes or material. But broadcast companies have lobbied hard to keep commercials and movie trailers off-limits.

"Their concern is, if it becomes easy for people to skip ads, then their whole business model goes down the drain," said Gigi Sohn, of Public Knowledge, a Washington, D.C. advocacy group.

1. And all this time I thought their business model was selling DVDs

That's how they made tons of money so far! It wasn't until the past year or two that DVDs started having manditory trailers and crap like that. This really pisses me off.

I bought a DVD player to get AWAY from all the damn ads! :mad:
