I really like Wil Wheaton, and even liked him as Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation. If you haven't kept up, he is a major blogging force these days as well as other stuff. His site is here.
Today he takes on all of the anti-piracy warnings we have to watch loaded on legit DVD's:
I think I've made it clear just how anti-piracy I am, but it is truly ridiculous how in your face they have gotten with this stuff. It is insulting to treat all of your customers like criminals just waiting to happen ...

To illustrate how stupid this is: can you imagine having to listen to some stupid lecture on not stealing music every single time you tried to start up a CD? How about a "the more you know" style admonishment at the beginning of every television show? Do these idiots actually think that if they take this warning off the DVD, piracy will suddenly explode? Do they actually think that someone, seconds before they hit the big red "PIRATE" button in their secret underground lab, will see that warning and have a sudden change of heart?
