I also hate it when I have to see the advertisements for other movies by the same distributor / DVD publisher that can not be skipped.

When I press "skip" on the remote and all that *MY* DVD player with *MY* legally purchased DVD inside does is to display symbol for forbidden operation I feel irresistible urge to rip the disk or to download ripped image.

I agree with you 100%, but I'm not sure that's really related to the DRM, rather to stupid decisions in the DVD standard that enforce forbidden operations.

Yes, DRM tries to prevent you from getting rid of those restrictions, but the restrictions shouldn't have been put in there in the first place.
