How exactly is this gonna stop people?

Pretty much the only way to stop it is to make piracy a capital crime.

One copy of Family Guy = your head on a chopping block.
Considering that there's hardly anybody who has never downloaded anything or watched a copyrighted video on youtube, a law saying that over half the population would die is going to result in a massive uprising instead.

I'm going to gess none of you are old enough to have seen the original in school. True this wont change anything just like the original didn't change anything. But the point here is that it is funny. Mainly in the unintentional way.
No there is no way that humor was unintentional.
I'm not so sure to be honest.
But who knows? It was funny none the less.

It's a crime?
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
And now I'm off to the pirate bay.
(to download legal content of course)

They used to say that home taping would kill the music industry... seems its a really slow death.

Why doesn't copyright work in a similar fashion to patent law?

Copyright gives you til the end of your life plus 70 years... how does that help creativity?

Why does it always appear that our governments are in the pockets of big business?

Why did Bernie Madoff get 150 years, but a murderer can get 20?

ditto. that made me want[/b[ to pirate, which is clearly not the idea here. that was the stupidest video ever. wit the exception of the first dony copy that floppy.

also clearly piracy is having an effect on the industry, because they were the worst production values ever. who has ever seen swat looking like that.

Information capitalism sucks, we need information communism. No copyrights, no patents, emphasis on community, donation based development using foundations,a massive network of volunteers all over the world to do parts of a game / movie / song / book / anything, voluntarily payments, grassroots culture...

If one day everyone pirated media instead of buying for it, this is what would inevitably happen.

Every time you pirate a music, game, movie, or program, God kills a kitten.
Don't be a pirate.

reminds me of this: http://cristgaming.com/pirate.swf

People make such a big deal out of piracy these days.
Yeah, it's not like it's harming anyone. Game Developers get a load of money from those who don't pirate anyway.

This anti-piracy thing is like the anti-drug thing that picked up in the 80's and continues today; it's overzealous, panicky, based on fear, and creates hilarious pieces of propaganda like anti-drug PSA's or the first Don't Copy That Floppy for our amusement (and don't forget the "Winners don't do drugs" screen, classic).

Okay, originally I was going to post a 'Urge to pirate increasing.' snarky post but I gotta admit, that was too damn awesome to just ignore or not at least give some kind of praise to. I hate DRM companies like the thankfully deceased Starforce or SecuRom with an all consuming passion, but I have to hand it to who ever did that, fair deuce.

Quite obviously
