No, I just wanted to point out that they do include the rigs in the banner. Like they were obsessed with rigs or something. Why not inlcude 'shareholders' meetings' or 'space stations' as well?
- jacquesm 14y agoLikely because they hope you're still within the 12 mile zone of some country. Outside of those I really wonder what their legal position is. The blurb telling you it is illegal is probably not all there is to it.
- pbhjpbhj 14y agoIt would be contributory infringement, at least, for the buyer in the country they "bought" the DVD in. I wonder if there's a clause disallowing transport of the DVD to a non-Berne Convention country (or non-TRIPs or whatever).
- codeulike 14y agoHaha, yeah I always wondered about that. Like they've got something against riggers or something. I imagine there must have been a case decades ago of people on oil rigs showing movies and then claiming exemption from the rules due to being out at sea.
- DanBC 14y agoI'm guessing that oil rigs are i) profitable and ii) places where lots of people watch a lot of DVDs.
