Pffft, dumbest idea ever Samsung.

Oh you morons.

You can remove the ads when copying/ripping the dvd off and copying it on to a 4.7 gig blank dvd.

Decrypters such as dvd shrink or DVDFab are pretty good at removing excess crap on a dvd.

Maybe reading the article would help. It's not about ads on the DVD. It's about Samsung Smart TVs forcing ads to overlay DVD plays. Rip your DVDs and put them into a Samsung TV, you'll still get targeted ads.

Exactly.

The Advertising is loaded onto the TV by the manufacturer and subject to replay on their schedule.

One has to wonder if the user is really able to turn them off at the menu like it said because the programing is still there.

Glad I don't have a Samsung smart TV.
