"One guy does ALL the voices for ALL the actors in EVERY movie!"
That is not true! There are 3 guys, one does most of the documentaries and two other read the vioces on other movies. All of them have similar voices. Anyway it sucks...

"Every good thing that happens in this country gets shut down."
After 20 years of living here you get used to it :)

The worst part is that there is no law forbidding downloading or even sharing movies. However FOTA and ZPAV (local MPAAs) claim that it is completly illegal to download movies. They tend to "help" the police by explaining what is right and what is wrong. Also there are prizes called "Zote Blachy" (Golden Badges) for the policemen who caught the most "pirates" according to ZPAV. So why should policemen chase bad guys that can hurt them if instead they can raid some people at 5 in the morning and not only raise their stats but also get a shiny prize.

The best illustration of how differently movie corps understand Polish law was the sentence of against Warner for publishing false info on DVD covers saying "all kinds of sharing movies is illegal". They were forced to change it and stop misinformation.
