This video will turn you into a Software Pirate. Instantly.


This video will turn you into a Software Pirate. Instantly.

<sarcasm> Well that’s it – I’m never going to illegally copy anything ever again. Seriously – the Software & Information Industry Association has finally made me see the error of my ways with this masterpiece of a video. </sarcasm>

I really don’t know what was going through the minds of the people behind this video. I can understand wanting to create a sequel to the classic 1992 anti-piracy video Don’t Copy That Foppy but they’ve ended up creating probably the best advertisement for internet piracy ever.

Why did they mention Doom? The kids this is aimed at were babies when it came out. As for the dancing Klingon… I despair. I’m off to download The Pirate Bay and set up my own Bit Torrent service out of spite.

In case you’ve never seen the original, here it is.
