I've thought exactly the same thing myself, after all let's face it the hologram idea is nothing new is it? Disney have put holograms on the VHSs since they were first released! I mean holograms are so simple and effective! I can't see why the US haven't picked up on the yet! Talk about can't see the wood for the trees!2099net wrote:Good to post the disc inner rim holograms and the side package hologram screens Ichabod. Being as Hollywood is constantly moaning about pirate copies, and wants to implement such draconian hardware copy-protection on the next generation of DVD players (including disabling players for all new releases if their encryption is craked) you have to wonder why they don't implement a similar system over there.

They featured some crew member taking about when you download a movie and dont pay for it, I dont have food to eat or something like that. They pulled them after a couple months or so.
One funny note - once after the preview ran I heard a guy sitting behind me say "I am going to go download that preview first thing when I get home!!"

I was at the cinema last night (went to watch Bewitched) and a Narnia trailer came on.....BUT as well as it being a trailer for the film the whole thing was more about piracy dvds of the film coming out, it was actually quite good how they did it, and definatly more interesting than black and white text that comes up before every movie, it was something that people actually watched since it also promoted Narnia.
Anyway thought id post it here since its related. And keep your eyes out for it when your at the cinema in the next few weeks.
I dont even know why the UK bother, its the US that need to show these types of trailers before every single film over there......sethn172 wrote:Howdy!*Andy* wrote:Seems as though Disney are really trying to attack the whole "Piracy DVD" thing at the minute....

Hey, I've seen that text disclaimer before the BBFC certificate and Spider-Man 2 at the cinema on my England trip last year. I think it's a good idea to warn would-be criminals who have their camcorders set up to capture the movie to "please turn off and put away their cameras." I even like how it ends with a simple "Thank You." The problem is that NONE of the theaters here in America have a screen like this prior to the movie's showing!
