I KNOW PIRACY IS BAD, THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT THE F%^%$%% DVD IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
What with this and Sony installing spyware on your PC without your consent on certain "protected" audio discs, I really do wonder how long it'll be until "1984" is a complete reality..
Hell yeah, and the most ironic thing is that 99% illegal copied DVD's won't have that message or over the top "Piracy funds Bin Laden" etc warning video, because it so damn easy to remove.
BTW, there is an easy sollution (well if you watch them on your PC) - get AnyDVD or DVD43. With that running you can skip all the non-skipable stuff. Removes the region code too. (some standalone players actually allow you to skip them too).
