While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

I have a legally purchased video which I cannot watch because of your technology. I see that this problem has existed for a number of years. Don't you think it's about time you fixed it! How annoying $25 for a movie I can't watch.

Cinavia can eat a big one.

I've come across this problem twice with two separate DVDs. It stops the audio in the middle of the movie. I purchased these official (not pirated) DVDs from stores and I cannot watch them. That is ridiculous. On the Cinavia website it suggests to either pause and then just skip over the parts with the audio or stop the movie, play another disk for at least 10 minutes and replay the DVD. What kind of suggestion is that?

You suck

You suck. I purchased a new DVD/blueray disc set and can't watch a movie that I legally own who the f@#k are you to do this?
I own this copy and your bull plop is preventing me from watching it.
This is a violation of my ownership rights.

My daughter is currently trying to watch her My Little Pony movie, a legally purchased DVD, but suddenly we have no sound thanks to this Cinavia thing. This is ridiculous! If nothing else, you're going to have a lot of upset children and a lot of angry parents. If you absolutely must have a copyright protection software in the player (not unreasonable), then FIX IT. Do better.

I have several legally store purchased movies that I can't play on my player because of this horrible product. I'm tired of buying DVDs that turn out to be trash because ANYTHING recorded with this technology is trash. We try to buy movies without it, but can't tell because there's no consumer warning label letting you know you're wasting your money. We live in the country and cant stream, and can't get cable. Thanks for nothing.
