Why oh why have we not learned to cope?

Another Series I won't bother buying on DVD...

You know you get older if - out of a whim - you try to buy DVDs of no-longer-shown teen series you adored once upon a time ;) You are no longer a teen, able and ready to spend good money for a trip to your past... Until you stumble over corporate stupidity.

The Entertainment Industry just seems uninterested in my money! Over-Priced DVDs forcing you to "experience" all sort of unnecessary intros, warnings etc. are commonly part of its twisted logic... But enough is enough! I state the unnegotiable requirements before I buy any series again:

1. The DVD, BR, other physical medium or download MUST NOT force anything on me as a paying viewer - be it warnings, intros, whatever menus or subtitles.
   
2. If either video or audio of said DVD, BR, other physical medium or download deviate however subtly from the "original", those deviations MUST be labeled/communicated clearly BEFORE purchase (BTW: I won't buy - exempt really rare circumstances; and - no - I don't care how you clear the rights if you showed serious idiocy already while securing those)
3. Said DVD, BR, pother physical medium or download MUST be playable on my devices, which include computers and mobile devices. I MUST be able to get to the video stream and transcode it for said mobile devices.
   

Hey Mr. Industry, you are aware there are competitors of yours that fulfill those requirements, aren't you? I wonder what your management gets paid for... no, really!
