True, it's likely a bug from either the disc or the player but if they weren't attempting DRM I wouldn't have the issue. Inconveniencing legitimate users because you can't implement the protections without it breaking isn't the way to go.

I know I can download a copy of a film, push play/pause and it will just work. I know if I buy a dvd I'll have to sit through unskippable piracy messages and ads and not be sure the film will play after pausing.

How do you know that without a doubt it isn't just a bug in the software unrelated to whether or not DRM was implemented?
because when I do the same on a non DRM disc it doesn't happen
