A new bill before Congress may eventually have DVD-viewers thinking twice before fast-forwarding through the ads and previews.
The proposed legislation would make fast-forwarding through those ads illegal -- not only in theaters, but also at home, NBC News reported.
The bill allows technology that lets families edit out explicit scenes or material to track the DVD use. But broadcast companies have lobbied hard to keep commercials and movie trailers off limits.
~Kathy Fisher at Unknown News remarked: "So do I get this right, the DVD is watching us?"
