LG TV Manuals Show How to Play Pirated Movies

Oh, those crazy South Koreans! LG offers some TVs with USB ports so that you can connect an external storage device and watch your legally-obtained movies. Or, you can follow the included English-language manual and learn how to play your pirated movie instead. I wonder if their online help has a section on how to set up uTorrent?

LG seems to understand perfectly what customers want, but we doubt that the movie studios will be very excited about this piracy endorsement from the Koreans. Whether the pirated films were included intentionally is unknown; we expect that a company employee simply downloaded the movies off a file-sharing service out of habit or convenience.
