Yeah, our library started getting rental copies a while back. I had just never experienced one that was so assholish about it.

I get angry at the rental copies because they make t impossible to enjoy the features at ALL. With special editions vs. regular editions, both are still meant to be available to rent, bonus features and all. With the rental copies, you wind up with no way to enjoy that--even if you're paying for a service. I realize that DVD rentals don't make studios as much money, but that doesn't mean it isn't a rotten thing to do.
