I do not want to be marketed to based on what movie I'm currently watching. I paid for the movie, it's mine.

You live in a society where every purchase you make is scrutinized by every company involved in the process of getting you that product or service.
If you play a video game online, everything you do is examined in detail, and put into a report.
If you buy 42 rolls of toilet paper in July, and 6 in August, this information is flagged and sent to someone who specializes in getting people to buy more toilet paper.
Every time you connect Windows XP to the internet, everything you do is monitored, examined in detail, and printed out in triplicate.
When you pop in a Blu-Ray movie, and only watch 15 minutes of it, someone wants to know why, and how to get you to watch at least 7 more minutes of it. This is hypothetical, as nothing like this is even being considered yet - hence the word "may" in the Panasonic manual.
Again, for the ultra-paranoid (the collected information is never shared, legally, and can not be used in a court of law to prosecute you), just block the outgoing signals.
