CD manufacturers say we're pirates and wipe their plentiful posteriors with the Redbook standard...

DVD manufacturers giggle with glee at the inclusion of Macrovision, adding false sync pulses in the vBlank interval, using the NTSC/PAL/SECAM standards as TP, TP for their bungholes.

Now... this... someone get me my shovel. Said it before, I'll say it again. Time to go back to books and live theatre.
