Maria Caliban Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Put out by the SIIA: Software and Information Industry Association. It's public service announcement to convince youths not to share software. The end is bizarre as it goes from goofy to serious with a man who's in prison for using stolen bank account information to create ebay and paypal accounts in order to sell pirated software. So, how effective do you think this will be in detouring children from copying CDs? "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Gorgon Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Whats a floppy. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Humodour Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Whats a floppy. An archaic form of digital storage which involved encoding bits magnetically on a portable spinning disk. The most common size was 1.44 megabytes.
Purkake Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) You ruined his bad joke, congrats! Seriously, who still burns CDs/DVDs? Thumbdrive/external HDD or bust! Edited October 6, 2009 by Purkake
Hiro Protagonist Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Seriously, who still burns CDs/DVDs? Thumbdrive/external HDD or bust! My thoughts exactly. A 2.5" pocket HDD can hold over 450 movies or 900 TV episodes. Why would you use a CD/DVD Disc? Edited October 6, 2009 by Hiro Protagonist
Purkake Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Not to mention the discs cost money, take up room and it take a while to burn them.
Moose Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Is this the one that features a little cameo of the original AOL Neverwinter Nights? Think that's how I bumped into it the first time. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts

Humodour Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 A 2.5" pocket HDD can hold over 450 movies Actually, you can buy cheap 1 terabyte 2.5 inchers these days, so make that 1500 movies.
Walsingham Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I can never work out if the industry is more worried about people copying for free by sharing, or selling the stuff. They seem desperately keen to push the organised crime angle, but I've yet to be convinced on that score. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Walsingham Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I just had another weird thought. If a kindly magician started making copies of things like BMWs then would he be arrested, if he didn't charge anything for it? "It wasn't lies.

Purkake Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 You're premise is too weird to consider. Change it to replicator and it might go somewhere.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 So, how effective do you think this will be in detouring children from copying CDs? I suspect it will not be effective, if only because they concentrate on those selling pirated materials. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot

It's in the original one that Krezack posted. Yep, starts at 3:25... "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
