The one I remember they changed it so that it fast forwarded through the adverts like a VCR instead of just jumping to the end of them. Whether they did it voluntarily or not I don't know.
Under the DEA of course, the mere accusation that it infringed copyright would be enough to have it banned. So it's probably just as well that law didn't exist when VCRs first came out. Or mp3 players, come to that. Still, at least everything useful has already been invented.
