That was better than ANY anti-piracy message I've ever seen. Why the hell does this only have 2 stars on youtube?


These guys do something this good with a crap green screen and sub-par CG enviroments yet "Professionals" churn out anti-whatver crap like that "Ew You're a Gamer" campaign

I love how they insinuate if you pirate, a swat team will beat up your mom and you'll go to jail so you can get beaten by broomsticks. That tells me that whoever made this has no idea what actully goes on in jail. Protip: They got the broomsticks part right, just the wrong verb.

Wait, so the alternative to piracy is working in video game design and graphic arts? That seems to be quite a random argument.

1st, why Klingons? 2nd, I can't imagine what it's like to be in prison with a voice like Mr. (Mrs?) Mondello's.

So... Is it alright to copy the stuff IF I don't charge others for it? All three of those offenders were making 'fat lewt' off their exploits. But most the folks I know who do that don't charge a thing for it.

...How the fuck does copying game software teach you SHIT about Art?

I mean. as someone taking art classes as a major.., i can assure you nothing I know about computer files teaches me a goddamned thing about drawing with charcoal pencils.

This is clever in a cheesy kinda way. I mean thats what the going for right, a cheesy homage to the old vid that still gets the message clear.

hmm, that video is already almost outdated. Cd's are so passe. Man though, i hope kids of the future dont look at this vid and think "thats the kind of tech they had back then, soo lame" just like i just thought about the 92 vid

This video is so severely retarded in so many different ways.

I think I'm going to go download something just to counter the fucktard vibes I absorbed from watching that horrible video.

Incorrectness is wrong. Copying digital data is NOT a crime. Selling it is. Everyone knows this and that the current laws were instated by a government coup.

Funny musicvideo though :)

This came out like two months ago, didn't it? I'm too tired to check, but I remember something about a sequel from, like, two months ago. Yes, Hamza, I'M THAT GUY. DEAL WITH IT. I SPEAK THE TRUTH WITH LOVE.

Wow. This is, like, serious? This is embarrassing, it was painful to watch all the way through. Just goes to show how little understanding these associations and the people who run them have of the audience.

But if I don't pirate Photoshop, how can I become a digital artist like it told me to in the later parts of the video?

I think they did that so they wouldn't have to pay a disc company to use their product.

@Markusdragon Use the GIMP. I think that someone needs to make a free software response to this. Yup.

Too many people think that they need to steal because 'professional' tools are so expensive. In reality, free tools have really been going up in quality lately. Sure, GIMP will never be a Photoshop, but it is better than a lot of the budget tools out there.

I don't think many people justify piracy by saying "Oh it's just a copy, it won't hurt anyone" They just say "Fuck am I paying sixty bucks for that when I can get it for free and I don't even have to get up"

I guess this was more targeted at peopple who buy/sell pirated copies but what kind of sap pays for stuff like that nowdays?

The best line was "Can you walk the line and not get played" Nope, cause work is for suckers. We're all suckers getting played by THE MAN.

How incredibly out of touch. Regardless of the legality of the situation, the fact that someone actually approved, financed and filmed this garbage without any consultation with an actual creative expert (y'know, like one of the real artists they show in the video) makes me think that they don't take their cause as seriously as they'd have you believe.

Also, Mondello there is in white collar resort prison, not federal f**k-me-in-the-a** prison. Everybody knows this. He probably gets conjugal visits.

"Information" like this will continuously get berated by the gaming community and pirates "cuz you didn't want to spend a couple dollas."

Who cheaped out now, hmm?

I find it funny how they only focus on the SELLING of warez (which can be prosecuted) but the end user aspect of downloading said warez is never addressed. Can you even go to jail for just downloading copied software??
