So now I'll have even less incentive to buy DVDs (with ads) rather than steal a pirated version (with no ads)?

Yea, this is a good idea.

WINNER!!!! DING, DING, DING!!! Best commented post. Haven't we had enough of the advertising in this society? I'm all about a consumer, capitalistic structure, but that entails choices.......which includes the CHOICE to not watch ads on content that we buy. Want to watch the content free? Fine, subsidize it with ads, but don't you dare force that bullshit on me when I pay for it. When will these companies realize that policies and actions like this and DRM only encourage and promote piracy as they are NOT catering to what the consumer wants and those people WILL overcome the obstacles in their way to get what they want.

Oh, I love DVD Shrink..........
