If you were broke, hungry and I was selling a cookie made from my own secret recipe... yet, you were able to make an exact duplicate of that cookie without taking the original, then ate that cookie you just cloned... did you just steal my cookie? No... neither did you steal a profit because you wouldn't have had the money to buy it anyway. DON'T BE GREEDY!! Sharing...IS...caring!
I agree with Jack Black; some corporations right now are blowing things out of proportion, and SOPA is something I am very much against, but at the end of the day just respect other people's property. If they want to give their stuff away for free, great, but if they want to make a living off of their work and they want money for what they do, people should respect that too.
irony... hes the biggest doche who only makes movies or music becuase of money which is the reason why our music these days is god awefull terrible. like seriously??/ rack city?? thats not even a song just an annoying and simple bass beat with a monotone voice saying stupid shitt. fuck you modern culture
Piracy only damages the industry, not the musicians! musicians primarily make money out of royalties, concerts, live preformances etc.NOT of cd/dvd sale!¨
the industry is big fat parasite that lives on the back of these people! their rights are being violated by piracy! not those who actually make songs. Even if you eliminate piracy completely, money musicians make will not be much more. only the parasites will get bigger, fatter and more greedy.
I say, pirates in the colonies? Who on earth would have imagined there was anything in hollywoodland that wasn't up for grabs. I do declare that i heard its full of 'hookers', whoever she is. Fishermen and women. Simple honest peasant folk making an honest living.
This is made for a joke. He is being sarcastic towards all the other asses that legitimately think piracy is bad for the music industry. i.e Lilly Allen and cunts like that.
When will these government idiots go after the record companies and managers that have been SCREWING the artists since the 50's with illegitimate record contracts? Nobody cares about the artists (that supply ALL of the productivity). How many Billions of dollars have artists been screwed out of in the 50 years BEFORE the existence of the internet? The internet is simply a tool with which NEW profits can be made. This is again, only about the top 1% (record companies) getting richer and richer.
well jack when I'm pulling in the same bank roll as you for condensing stupidity and silly words then I suppose I won't have to worry about my entertainment budget but until then I'm just going to pirate
THIS, from a millionaire !!!.Those pricks make enough money. I'm not watching any more of his movies or buying anything he pushes. I don't think he is joking.
@Aralakh, me neither....I guess because I really don't want to lose respect for JAck Black (I'm a Tenac fan :P), I'm going to take it as an ironic video. It seems that way to me, simply because of how idiotic he is about the whole thing "the internets (plural" etc..
He's kidding and why do pirates search up anti piracy videos and rage over nothing guys he means you can download just don't sell it - don't be a douche
This was made in 2006 folks, before the SOPA bill by almost 6 years. Nothing to do with SOPA either. Anti-Piracy =/= Pro-SOPA. Piracy is bad. So is SOPA.
Awesome job Jack. Sarcasm is fun, and some people don't get it.
I think his main message was DON'T BE A DOUCHE not, I am poor. He obviously isn't poor, and has tonnes of rocket sauce. The real Douche move would be to let SOPA even be an option. A rich dude like that speaks up about it, and you guys get mad at him? More entertainers should say, hey, wait a minute, I ain't poor tho, guys. Don't worry about me. Pirates actually spread my message with free advertising for the pirated stuff.
MO MONEY MO MONEY MO MONEY ! POOR POREST POOR POREST POOR POREST! MO MONEY MO MONEY MO MONEY! POOR POOREST POOR POREST POOR POOREST! YWYYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEEYEY SOPA GO SOP GO SOPA GO SOPA>>>....awww wtf. . I dont giv a shit what they do I DONT CARE! I LIKE SOPA I DONT LIKE SOPA. .. .what.. They will do wtf they want so stfu. I LIKE SOPA..
It's the battle cry of the has been, who depends on residuals to feed a rocket sauce habit, so he can become inspired enough to create some uninspired derivative that his managers think his fans will buy. The same fans that they persecute relentlessly and then blame for declining sales.....
I don't know why you dont like what he says. He is true, if you guys just steal every movie and music from the internet, there will be no more. It's not free to get a studio and record an album or a movie, you know.
You people are idiots you wouldnt be bitchin if it was your job and your money. Go tell your bosses your willing to work for free because thats what your bitchin at him for. Dumb shits
tell that to Sony CBS Disney and microsoft to name a few that made file sharing software available and promoted it its use aaaaannnnnnd made billions from the piracy to boot. Now they put up this smoke screen of whining about a situation that they initiated and profitted from. This sopa bill is all about controlling the net and nothing more. They said the same thing when the cassette came out. Please....gimmie a break. Tell the corporations to stop being douches.
@KantorekBaumerB14 IS he being sarcastic? At first I hoped so - but after watching the whole thing, I think not. It's disappointing he'd pimp for a one-sided POV when, in fact, copyright laws are totally out of hand and damage our culture! Do artists deserve to be paid for their work? Sure- but this issue is more complex than that.
No Cash = No Inspiration? What. They'd make much more convincing piracy adverts if you weren't being spoke to like an idiot by a rich person and the industry highlighted the jobs lost by people working at places like HMV, etc. Of course if the music stores found a better way to compete against Amazon they probably wouldn't be doing so badly.
2006 i think weshould give him a chance, piracy was a different ballgame then... but i would like an update jack. and until then, im sorrry but i cannot forgive you for your wrongdoings.
@bogbrush4ever As much as I would love to think that he is being sarcastic, I don't think he is. His idiosyncrasies just make it seem like a joke, he's just making sure that he's like "Hey I'm still the same Jack Black, I'm your best friend and I'm being really casual and cool with you. But I still need more money" So he's doing a good job and making it really informal and that he's still the same guy, but to me. He has changed so much after seeing this.
No money No inspiration? I thought rock and roll was about inspiring people and yourself with music, not cash. STFU jack black, i thought you were cool, you're just another greedy money fanatic. Stop ACTA
"Hi, Im an average rich asshole with millions of dollars to my name. Im referenced in a lot of shit, voice acted alot of kids shit, acted for shit, did music for shit, and I hate piracy. Only money fuels me to do what I do. Fans mean nothing."
If the celebrity-stoned media didn't make his movies quite so prevalent, maybe the rest of us wouldn't need to use the 'net to find something decent to watch? How about "The Douche of Destiny"? A shower attachment for washing away what'll be considered crap in years to come. There's a few Jack Black offerings in there, I'm afraid.
I'm just glad Johnny Depp didn't make this video. As for "No cash, No inspiration" - What a load of shite. sfumato1002 said "Inspiration usually comes from free sources: rain, sunsets, nature, love, passion... Cash actually destroys inspiration", and it's right (Quote with persons name in-case he sues me for copyright :-)
These people are supposed to be doing something they love doing. Whether it's sport, music, acting etc, but as soon as they start making money, the love of money takes over.
That mother fucking bloody bastard pain in the arse, dick cheese stinking dirty shitty wanking fucking bloody fucking bastard fucking stupid cunt of a fucking 'musician'!
I've just lost all the respect to this guy...
No cash does NOT mean No inspiration. Fucking cunt!
@shiftyluke Well, I guess I should. But still - this kind of attitude towards ART that is music disgusts me.
You know, we admire beautiful and sexy women, don't we? But we DO tend to send some of these to prison for prostitution! Just because they've decided to 'get some cash'.
No cash means no home no food... of couse they got alot of money
but they don't got a job like the rest of us
the music is their job and how can you be a fan by not supporting their work??
dear sir you are a "mother fucking bloody bastard pain in the arse, dick cheese stinking dirty shitty wanking fucking bloody fucking bastard fucking stupid cunt of a fucking fan"
@giomjava oh come on, he has a full right to ask that. plus it has i hope u know that it has nothing to do with sopa shit. but, u know, if u don't like the guy great! now get the fuck out.
You don't need cash to get inspiration...on the contrary..Inspiration usually comes from free sources: rain, sunsets, nature, love, passion... Cash actually destroys inspiration...this is why most bands are best during their first years...like u2 sucks now compared to their early years when they were struggling to make it.
How dumb are you idiots? This thing was uploaded six years ago, and has NOTHING to do with SOPA and isn't even serious. Besides, let's face it, piracy IS bad for the internet, were it not for piracy SOPA wouldn't even exist. Besides, people spend millions of dollars to make this stuff, have the fucking decency to spend 10 bucks, I hate SOPA, but this is people's livelihoods. Is it okay to go into a dealership and steal a car? No. The same applies. You guys aren't some sort of revolutionaries.
All I have to say to UNCLE SAM IS YOU CAN'T SHUT down VUZE.COM, IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT VUZE OR ARREST ANYONE, IT HAS BEEN SAID IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, THE INTERNET WILL GO OBSOLETE FOR SIX MONTH!! AND FOR YOU MR DUM ASS BLACK MAKE ANOTHER MOVIE AGAIN!! AND YOUR ACCOUNTS WILL BE FROZED!! SO TO ALL YOU BIG SHOTS OUT THERE THAT WANT TO START AN ONLINE ANARCHY FIGHT!!!! BRING IT
Haha jack black. Seeing this - I am stealing all of your shit from the internet containing your name and doing my best to share it with as many people as possible. Go fck yourself
"I think it's a good idea because it's people trading music. It has nothing to do with industry or finance, it's just people that want music and there's nothing wrong with that. It's the same as someone turning on the fucking radio, it's the same as someone putting a cassette in a cassette deck when the BBC plays a special radio session. I don't think it's a crime, it's been going on for years."
movies i understand because they are so exspensive to make but you wanna cry about being broke cuz people download yur music for free? you should be tarred and feathered. make yur money meltin faces on the road and be happy so many people want to download yur music on the internet. i work my fingers to the bone for my money and jam for fun. im no bad ass like Black, but if people liked my music ide be happy to find out it had been downloaded for free a million times
@jimibones83 If you make something you should have the right to sell it at a price people are willing to pay. If you enjoy music you should pay for it, right? It's called supporting the artist, and over 85% of all music today is pirated, it is a major problem and musicians aren't selling the albums like they used to because people download them pirated. SOPA - PIPA and ACTA are the government trying to take control of our lives that's not the answer to piracy but piracy IS a problem
@FreedomMask i agree that its their right but sometimes exercising a right can make you a Dbag. i didnt say it wasnt the right of the musician, i just said they are lame for looking at it that way, yurslef nicluded if you dont understand. where would we be if the guy who dicovered fire wouldnt share it unless he was paid? somethings are better shared freely, like ideas, views, and beliefs. u know, the things good music is about
Theft is wrong, whether it be physical or virtual, if you want something you should pay for it. Now, the governments are trying to use this simple fact to regulate our lives once again, piracy is a problem, and it should be solved by those who are being stolen from, and those who steal. Just like physical items, the government doesn't regulate how we can watch TV if they think our neighbor stole one, and the same goes for songs. Governments need to stay out of our lives, and not take our freedom
Aren't they rich enough? Easy for THEM to condemn people who can't afford to buy cds and dvds or to go to the theatre when they want, I doubt they have any problem buying what they want when they want, some of them even bought islands, boats and are used to spend holidays in Los Cabos for thousands of dollars, damnit I can't even afford to pay my f** driving licence! And seriously give me the name of one person who got fired or ruined because of piracy...
See the thing is an artist for sure does what they do out of passion... but to have their product be taken WITHOUT permission, copied and sent to thousands and thousands of other people isn't RIGHT.
If you made something that you were beyond proud of and someone took it without your permission, you'd be pissed too.
It's no unspoken thing that most artists are beyond happy and shocked that they can make their LIVING doing something they love. Don't steal that from them.
how about OPERATION MEGA-FLASHMOB ? we get the addresses of the major record label execs who were involved and MPAA and RIAA execs,and senator lehey and chriss dodd,and fbi and doj high ups, anyone of them and as many of them as we can find, and send out a tweet to have huge flashmobs show up at their homes in the middle of the night,bust down their door oust them from their homes loot them trash their homes & leave,if they want to make us all criminals ,then we should all start acting like it
but 150 000 dollars for an error in judgement is way too much jack you gotta agree with me on that one...i think it should be like a speeding ticket 300 bucks or something ...
Michael moore has a point but you don't lend a movie to a million people?
Put if you drew something really cool then they used it in a comercial and stole your idea..
Would you not be pissed off?
I'm an artist sorta if i could make a living off my creative talents that would be a dream come true but its so easy to pirate somthing and children don't know how it affects the economy..
they just know hmm i don't have the money but i like this so i'll just dl it?
a musician has to work with concerts... and i say that as a musician... i don t get money from records... i m not on mtv... and when i started to play i used a lot the tape recorder... and i do not fell i m a thief... if i didn t do that i was not a musician now... knowledge has to be for everybody... u re a nice guy jack... but u miss the point... you are not a musician...
i know some musicians that just put their work on share for free, or just hand out cds on the street. these guys are real artists, they dont care about money
it is simple for 1 sooooooooo many people don't have cash for expensive product
for 2 that product is shit in shiny bag
if you make good stuff u can live from it and you not don't pay some US corrupted senators to make SOPA or ACTA that make your monopoly work and use power to take extra cash from people
Bullshit. Check out Beans on Toast. He got no money and still he's better than Justin Timberlake.
You don't need money to get inspiration. You don't need money to sing. Greedy pig. I bet Mr. Black got a lot of fans, so if he ever gets broke he can still sell his dirty underwears for like 1K.
noone is really an artist - all u ever do - u own to everyone around u and everyone that has lived before u - what a ... human idea that is - ownership...
there are no artists ;)
whoever sells it's creations is not an artist, but a liar, thief and opresor
Really? Does anyone think that rock and hollywood stars are about to be broke? That is ridiculous. I am not saying that piracy is allright but saying that their broke?
When I first watched this I couldn't tell whether or not he was being serious, or just screwing around. Since when does money = inspiration? From the sound of that, only rich millionaires could be artists.
defiantly did this to make money due to piracy lol he didn't want to do it! weve all see P.O.D greens his inspiration! and if he could download that he would =)
@Cryolyptic go fuck yourself you pretentious cunt-faced-asshole not all artists tour and even if they did theft is still theft and their is no good reason to do it so why don't you grow a pair and stop acting like an entitled little bitch you greedy cocksmoker
I personally always give my music away for free, but put some songs on the online stores so if anyone wants to give me a dollar in support they can. Funny how on the same song page of my website there is a free MP3 download at the top and the option to buy the song on iTunes or other stores below it, but people still actually pay for it. Maybe the only real way to earn any respect as an artist is by not being a money hungry dick?
I don't like jack black anymore. He's lost all of my respect. Artist complain about "piracy" yet here they are living in million dollar homes...if Anyones douches it's them.
I have never downloaded something illegal before..is the econemy really that bad in other countries? No offense :) I just don't understand...i'm norwegian btw
what an asshole. I used to have respect for these people as a kid but no I lost all respect for them. They act like they don't earn enough as it is and they are suffering because they don't earn an extra million dollars. I am a pirate and proud of it!
I wouldn't say money was my inspiration but if I had fans that wouldn't give me 99 cent to help my career which I live off of I wouldn't put up anything to download all live shows.
Okay so Piracy isn't the end of the world, but I don't think it's necessarily right either. People say they'll still make money because people will go to live shows, but if no one buys their records artists won't get any shows. Think about it people.

If the celebrity-stoned media didn't make his movies quite so prevalent, maybe the rest of us wouldn't need to use the 'net to find something decent to watch? How about "The Douche of Destiny"? A shower attachment for washing away what'll be considered crap in years to come. There's a few Jack Black offerings in there, I'm afraid.

Poverty begets great art.
Wealth has a way of eroding the artistry in man.
Art is fueled by passion, and it's hard to be passionate about anything when you can afford anything you want.

I'm just glad Johnny Depp didn't make this video. As for "No cash, No inspiration" - What a load of shite. sfumato1002 said "Inspiration usually comes from free sources: rain, sunsets, nature, love, passion... Cash actually destroys inspiration", and it's right (Quote with persons name in-case he sues me for copyright :-)
These people are supposed to be doing something they love doing. Whether it's sport, music, acting etc, but as soon as they start making money, the love of money takes over.

You don't need cash to get inspiration...on the contrary..Inspiration usually comes from free sources: rain, sunsets, nature, love, passion... Cash actually destroys inspiration...this is why most bands are best during their first years...like u2 sucks now compared to their early years when they were struggling to make it.

How dumb are you idiots? This thing was uploaded six years ago, and has NOTHING to do with SOPA and isn't even serious. Besides, let's face it, piracy IS bad for the internet, were it not for piracy SOPA wouldn't even exist. Besides, people spend millions of dollars to make this stuff, have the fucking decency to spend 10 bucks, I hate SOPA, but this is people's livelihoods. Is it okay to go into a dealership and steal a car? No. The same applies. You guys aren't some sort of revolutionaries.

@jimibones83 If you make something you should have the right to sell it at a price people are willing to pay. If you enjoy music you should pay for it, right? It's called supporting the artist, and over 85% of all music today is pirated, it is a major problem and musicians aren't selling the albums like they used to because people download them pirated. SOPA - PIPA and ACTA are the government trying to take control of our lives that's not the answer to piracy but piracy IS a problem

Theft is wrong, whether it be physical or virtual, if you want something you should pay for it. Now, the governments are trying to use this simple fact to regulate our lives once again, piracy is a problem, and it should be solved by those who are being stolen from, and those who steal. Just like physical items, the government doesn't regulate how we can watch TV if they think our neighbor stole one, and the same goes for songs. Governments need to stay out of our lives, and not take our freedom

See the thing is an artist for sure does what they do out of passion... but to have their product be taken WITHOUT permission, copied and sent to thousands and thousands of other people isn't RIGHT.
If you made something that you were beyond proud of and someone took it without your permission, you'd be pissed too.
It's no unspoken thing that most artists are beyond happy and shocked that they can make their LIVING doing something they love. Don't steal that from them.

I personally always give my music away for free, but put some songs on the online stores so if anyone wants to give me a dollar in support they can. Funny how on the same song page of my website there is a free MP3 download at the top and the option to buy the song on iTunes or other stores below it, but people still actually pay for it. Maybe the only real way to earn any respect as an artist is by not being a money hungry dick?
