Does it show up every time you play the disc or is just a one time thing?

mikecoscia

You don't have to read it!

unkpku is think that new comments are like iPhone 3G pre 2.1, yeah it sucks

Disney is getting into the Blue Screen of Death market. Nice.

OMG! Ponies!

@mikecoscia: RTA, it's only when trying to access the BD-Live features. I would hope it's only one time but I suspect unless Disney changes it, it will occur every time there is an update.

inajeep

That is the suck.

@unkpku:

Sure you don't.

Besides, I own your soul.

Do you remember that small shareware program you downloaded the other day? I wrote it. And I wrote its EULA. And by clicking "I Agree" you have renounced the rights to your soul, passing them to the author of the program.

That's so much easier than blood-signed certificate on bull skin. Not as much fun, but so much more efficient!

It's hard to tell from the screenshots, but it looks like it's 120 pages, 8 lines to a page. I'd say it's a standard length EULA/Privacy Policy, they just screwed up on the display/implementation.

I actually really enjoy reading EULAs while the kiddies are anxious to watch the film. I know on many occasions I have modified my approach to media consumption based on the valuable information contained in some of these often overlooked sources or knowledge.

I also enjoy torturing small animals and blister packaged medication.

vyrlsuntzu

That's one of the new features of the disk. Is there also a short on the making of the EULA? Can it get any better than this...

I personally am tired of simply signing these things without reading them. How long will it take a company to insert some abusive power in the agreement because they know nobody reads these things. They're kind of like those credit card agreements you have with your card company. Ever read one of those?

dahveed

Are these things enforceable? Has this been tested in the courts?

outeast

there must be enough rules in that eula to make any normal consumer who agrees prosecutable if disney would be in the mood to do so.

why pay for the right to be sued, if you could just take your chances and get the movie from thepiratebay.

Ya can't cry about something you helped cause.

@outeast: perhaps you could be more general; i hear the law is black and white. :P

All I had to do was click "Continue" on our PS3. It did not require us to "read" or "scroll" the EULA.

Vtecno_Geek

Allowing lawyers into the creative process is awesome!

@kwicherbichin: ^have. Damn the lack of edit buttons!

kwicherbichin

@EricAlder: Oh horseshit. Formats nothing to do with EULAs or privacy policies.

kwicherbichin

What's funny is that the pirates don't have to see that at all.

Only the folks who legitimately paid for it have to sit and deal with this bullshit.

Once again the law-abiding are punished.

Punished by Disney.

strider_mt2k

That's strange. There's no EULA or privacy policy on the version I got from the Pirate Bay.

CMU_Bueller

@axiomatic: "I will make it legal."

Sorry couldn't resist a Palpatine quote.

BigPanda

Is this even legal?

Can you bind a 4 year old to an EULA?

@vyrlsuntzu: "Sorry kids, I just don't like the language contained in this EULA. No Sleeping Beauty for you!"

Phenostar

@Kaiser-Machead's LEGO WALL-E: That doesn't rhyme...

Barry99705

I rather like the new ending...

kazemizuhi

Why is sleeping beauty on Blu-ray? Though I did read, here i think, that Disney provides some of the best BDLive content. 120 pages worth i would hope.

kahri

@DRoberts: good call you may be right in reality it may only be a 30 page doc. They should have made it a single page scroll display

lilaliendog

@strider_mt2k: The real punishment is paying $35 to $40 for a 50 year old movie.

Mr.SithNinja

@kahri:
Two things:

1. They increased the width of the frame to some aspect ratio that had originally been dreamed of, but never realized, so now you're seeing _more_ image than ever before.

2. Disney has a major hard-on for Blu-Ray, and has been trying to disuade people from buying standard DVDs by stripping a lot of the more traditional DVD bonus features (like commentaries) from the DVD releases and restricting them to Blu-Ray releases. My Pixar DVD collection hates them for this.

Purple Dave

It's not about the format, it's about profit.

EricAlder

@kahri: Why wouldn't it be?

@Kaiser-Machead's LEGO WALL-E:

/cheer for Der Kaiser.

Krrong

Why are they releasing this now? If Prop 8 doesn't pass in California in November, they're just going to have to re-release it with an alternate lesbian ending anyway.
