Preaching to the converted - The scourge of piracy warnings

TT talks about piracy, you can read it over here.
"Friends, today I feel the need to speak out against a scourge that is afflicting the home entertainment industry. It's annoying, it's disruptive and it's treating the very customers that are doing the right thing, as criminals. I am speaking of forced copyright warnings and threats.

Copyright warnings date back to VHS and beta video tapes, with small text on the back cover and a ten second warning preceding a movie that you'd go to jail and receive a $100,000 fine if you attempted to make a duplicate copy of a movie, if you were lucky enough to own two very expensive VHS units."
