Obviously you can fast forward past them, but they would still be there.
Which option would you go with?

considering the fact that when mpaa argued in favor of banning the vcr after they lost one of their complaints was the fact that a person recording their favorite movie on tv could pause recording while the commercials were playing to get commercial free version as a "permenent" copy.

Indeed, when my son is taping for his permanent collection, he sits there and pauses his machine and when he is finished with it, he has a marvelous Clint Eastwood movie and there is no sign of a commercial. It is a brand new movie and he can put three of those on one 6-hour tape.

how stupid do you have to be to not realize the "Choice" you just gave me was another example of you trying to go backwards on the rights the court have already given me.
the courts didn't make pause buttons that only worked during playback
they did prevent the pausing while recording
they granted me the right to make my archive commercial free if i wanted it
how can you not see that your actually trying to take way that court granted right with your "choice"
