Technician Posted December 2, 2011 I would have thrown this video in the stealing software thread, but it's closed and the IP Act thread doesn't really concern this, either. Almost as crazy as suggesting piracy enablers are terrorist supporters, we now have a video that equates piracy buyers to supporters of drugs, job loss, child exploitation, and gang wars. Now, would you steal a car? You can't help but laugh at these. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted December 2, 2011 Nearly as over-the-top as the old Reefer Madness video (tl;dr version here for the impatient). 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomUK Posted December 2, 2011 Uh, who the hell buys counterfeit games or movies from some insalubrious vendor on the street anymore? On a related note. In the days of VHS piracy, before the internet really took off and long before DVD, there was a more sensible British anti-piracy advert explaining that if you bought a pirated VHS the quality would be fucking shit. It didn't try to claim you were supporting murderers and drug lords or guilt trip you into making you think you supported child labour. If I find it I'll come back with it.

Maes Posted December 2, 2011 I think I "prefer" that Italian anti-piracy ad that suggested that warez d00dz are losers that get dumped by their girlfriends. 0 Share this post Link to post

D_GARG Posted December 2, 2011 ironicly, that guy in the film who sold that copied film dont have acess to any work so that is what he have to do to make his living. so you would like to let this guy starve on the street by giving that money for your film to WernerBros or some other big company who can hire some profecionall 3D artist? .. or you let that guy in that small shop have something to eat for the day? tricky huh? 0 Share this post Link to post

WHERE THE HELL IS MY HASHISH?!! lol addicted to hash ;p But yeah, this shit is just stupid, as stupid as the "smoke weed and you go gay for your brother" MTV PSA bullshit. What's scarier is the amount of lies/disinformation they spread that aren't as overt. That's why I'm glad we have the internet and access to peer-reviewed journals. 0 Share this post Link to post

Craigs Posted December 3, 2011 I pirated a copy of FEAR3 and when I stepped outside I saw a starving child smoking a crack pipe get dragged into a sweat shop then get shot by gang bangers as soon as he came back out. This shit's real people. 0 Share this post Link to post
