Time for another rant

I’m getting sick and tired of being forced to look at anti-piracy adds before I watch a DVD. No matter what the studios do the experts are going to find a way to get past their safeguards and rip a copy, for the rest of us it’s just another annoyance. If they weren’t so greedy they could price DVD’s so that no one would want to buy a pirated version in the first place.

Have you had this one played out on you? You go to a customer service counter with a problem and the gal behind the desk has no intention of offering you any assistance. When you become frustrated they start making it all about you being beligerant in order to divert attention from the complaint you came to file in the first place. Don’t let them get away with it. Pick a time when you aren’t already at the end of your rope to go file a complaint and if you don’t get satisfaction ask for a supervisor. These people seem to be trained in how to handle people, not their complaints. Don’t let them get away with it.
