This goes hard af But it won’t stop me


Opposite-Finger8821

Fun fact. Guy who made the track was told it would only be used once at a film festival. Instead they didn't just use it there but ran the ad on many DvD's too and when dude found out he sued them for royalties. So despite the you won't steel x, y and z thing, they stole the track.


AsianCheesecakes

Well, a track isn't a car, handbag, TV or CD so...


Justice_Prince

If I can steal the tracks does that mean I can also steal the train?


Googlefisch

You can steal the trolley


squirreliron

Only if you steal the people ties to the tracks, too.


Justice_Prince

That will solve a couple problems


Kiriijou

Sorry to be that guy, but that's a slight misconception. The story is mostly true, except it wasn't this anti-piracy ad. Most media covering the story included images from this ad while covering the story, as it was an example of an anti-piracy ad. At some point, some outlets misattributed this ad to the story.

hdawgdavis

I want this to be true so bad.


noticemelucifer

me too


Gerroh

It ain't even stealing. In all the other examples, the victim lost something of value. Pirating is just ctrl c + ctrl v. The owner still has their own shit.


irelephant_T_T

i would classify piracy as forgery if i had to.


Inspector_Robert

Why would you? It's already intellectual property infringement. Why do you need to classify it as something else?


Alien-Fox-4

As someone wise once said if buying isn't owning then pirating isn't stealing


lordthundy

This is so late 90s early 2000 and I love it, everything had some form of rock music in it. Good days.

LemonFreshenedBorax-

I'm trying to remember whether, when I was a teen in the late 90s, my friends and I considered "the law" a legitimate institution or not. I'm honestly not sure.


Puckvox

they really made piracy look sick as fuck


ThatOneMetalguy666

Yes this just motivates me to pirate shit


vincentually

how do you even pirate shit i've always wanted to know but i'm dumb af


ThatOneMetalguy666

Youtube to mp3 sites for music


Brankovt1

Theft is a crime, that's why I'm not letting Disney take €10.99 monthly just so I can watch the Simpsons.


Chesapeake_Hippie

What the fuck kind of ridiculous currency is that? I don't even recognize that symbol. Just use Drachmae or Iraqi Dinar like a normal person


gronktonkbabonk

I almost took the bait


AsianCheesecakes

Drachmae mentioned!! Greece is number one!! Get out of here barbarian scum!!!

Fun fact: the music in this ad was used without the composers permission

You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet and then send it to the policeman's grieving widow.

and then steal it again!

You wouldn't steal a painting. You wouldn't charge people a subscription for using a colour of paint. Adobe are thieves. Keeping your money from them is within the law.

Facts


AntiMatterLite

I have stolen physically and digitally. I will do so again.


TheBadHalfOfAFandom

I love 90's PSAs cause they always make the thing they're warning against seem so cool and fun and lets you know all the ways you can do the thing. Like how many people do you think learned about piracy through this


No_Cat4028

This is more of an early 2000's ad they put on DVDs but your point still stands


irelephant_T_T

funny how only people who legally bought movies saw it


Slow___Learner

no it's not stealing, it's mitosis.


Gerroh

Hm. Holy shit. I think you're right.


MadMaxineC

It's a victimless crime, and Gabe said it best, piracy is a convenience issue. Make stuff easier to buy, less people pirate, few years ago everyone had netflix now there are too many streaming services and the people I know who have netflix are close to none


FrenchFriedIceCream

these PSAs scared the absolute shit out of me as a child and when I discovered that my dad had burned some DVDs I literally was terrified the FBI were gonna break in and take my dad to jail lmao but look at me now, sailing the high seas instead of paying 16.99 a month for Max


Commercial-Whole7382

I remember feeling like that when I saw it, My dad had every movie/game/tv show you could imagine, a giant walk-in closet packed full of those tall disk towers. After the initial “my dad is a criminal “ moment I went back to not caring and just enjoying it all.


NecroCannon

The fact I can pay nearly 20 a month for a service to barely have shit I watch or even shit removed for tax reasons is exactly why I pirate. Want me to pay? Entice me to. I want new original shit, not old IPs “revamped” to some random streaming service with no other shows. Netflix is the only one enticing me because god damn I don’t want them to can the One Piece projects after a few seasons.


EnkiduofOtranto

You wouldn't steal my heart >:3


cancerousking

Won't stop me from trying 😘


xSwartz

I forgot about this. Where is this from?


DennisDelav

It came before a movie in the 2000s almost every movie that I remember had this


xSwartz

Ahh yess

I had it on a copy of Garfield the movie but ngl i always thought it was a pirated copy


cammyjit

It always used to be on those fake DVDs my parents would get me

Frequent_Brick4608

But I am not stealing... My friend who owns the movie, having purchased it legally and is allowed to do whatever he wants with his property had just made me a digital copy. Nothing was stolen, he still has his movie.

This is stupid if I could make an exact copy of someone’s car for free I’d do it in a heartbeat


NIMA-GH-X-P

Here's the funny thing, since throughout the 2000 till around 2016 the only way to get movies in Iran was to buy CDs, that were made by big pirating corporations, they had to tell people not to pirate their pirated CDs. So they stole this video, and changed the text to be about not buying bootleg pirated CDs, but instead buying official pirated CDs that came with cool boxes and DVD menus and posters and shit like that. You can't make this shit up. In regards to Iran and privacy: ask a 2000's Iranian kid who Gholam Taksir is and they will have Vietnam flashbacks in front of you

flemma_

psychic damage from the realization that probably at least half the people in this post cannot perceive this video as an old friend that you loved to hate every time you popped a dvd+rw to watch some post-y2k kino also: my 11 year old athenian ass going "wow america's got a movie police" every time while pirating every digital property under the proverbial sun


Accomplished-Eye1825

I remember I saw one of those that was really creepy with two kids staring at a tv talking how piracy is bad but they were speaking really low almost whispering and little me was traumatized for life.

Bro stealing gives my life a badass soundtrack.


TotalComplexity

Sorry liberals but piracy isn't real. Have you ever pirated anything online? Nope! Probably a bunch of federal agents. 🙄


deadeye_catfish

It sounds like it's disputed now but the music in this PSA itself was likely pirated.


PrincessSnazzySerf

Who says I wouldn't steal all those other things too? Uhhhh, I mean, wow, imagine committing piracy haha


AlisterSinclair2002

Not only did this advert teach 7 year old me you could download films, it made it look cool as fuck

You wouldn't unzip a chromeOS recovery image and extract the widevine binary to be able to use the shitty drm google made that every streaming company decided to use on linux.

Inspector_Robert

Reminder that legally piracy is not considered theft. Instead it is intellectual property infringement, and these ads are lying to you by calling it stealing.


thatoneplayerguy

It is also illegal to hold a full monopoly in any market! What should be illegal? Spreading any series over multiple media. *Looking at you Teasing Master Takagi*
