Have You Got What You Paid For?

[markrobbo83]

I just tried calling that number, but it didnt work... now how will i report all those pirate videos I come across?

[dunhillsupramk3]

and thats why pirate bay don't charge you no money for the torrents

[sikyist]

Omg. Thankyou. Been looking for this for ears. So now when I make 'backups' of movies- I can replace the "you wouldn't steal a Handbag" with this... Niice

[bradley583]

At school when the teacher fast forwarded the beginnings of videos, we would all read out the HAVE- YOU- GOT- WHAT- YOU- PAID- FOR? as it appeared on screen, lolol.

[er10b]

I'd LOL if this was on a DVD today...

The memories buying ABC Kids VHS tapes and seeing the same warning on a bunch of em - I would test every tape playing it all the way through and pile them up - one pile with warnings, one without.

[cameron20101000]

I wish they use this in the US/Canada VHS tapes!

[MrFarmhouse]

awww the nostalgia

[mudchair16]

Ah memories. I'd return home from riding all the way up to Video 2000 and back, eager to watch my weekly. Pop in the tape and see this message covered in all the jittery crap that wouldn't go away no matter how hard you tried. You just knew the whole tape was screwed. I never did anything to deserve such cruelty.

[SprattyD]

OMG!!! back to the OLD VHS days ... *fast fowards* shame you can't do the same to the 5 ones on all dvds/blu rays -.-

[01101011010101010100]

haha what a flash back

[genxor]

mmmmmm, honey.

[mitchp85]

Remote - Fast Forward

"HAVE YOU GOT WAT YOU PAID FOR"

[stru81]

Wow, I've never seen a 008 number in 20 years. Funny how at the time this was the less worn part on the videotape. Lol Tony Martin ^_^

[WILLUSUBSCRIBE]

Nobody calls me mad dog especially not some duded up egg sucking gutter trash

[Lamovec]

Have I got what I've paid for? No, 'cos I've bought it for an official price.

[vicomovement]

awesomness

[MrImmoli]

OMG! I think I accidentally bought a pirated copy of Spore!!! It installed some rootkit called Securom on my computer.

Wait what, that was the legit version? Pirated copies don't have the rootkit?

Yep...the pirated copies are the inferior ones... >.>

[zacbowma]

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore vhs

[eyeh8nbc]

Legit VHS tapes already had poor sound and/or picture quality anyways!

[MisterSenseless]

@eyeh8nbc and a lack of censor or other labels on the face or spine of the tape is not necessarially a bad thing

[eyeh8nbc]

@MisterSenseless Yeah- they never had those in the US (except on the back cover, different for each studio) but looks like every other country has them- those are pretty intrusive.

[lantern9]

Those were the days...when you were able to fast forward through the warnings at the start of a movie.

[angriffsritter]

An anti-piracy clip that isn't entirely pointless and over the edge?

Seems like everything was better in the 90's...

[Lorinikeet]

cannot believe i watched the whole way through, i use to always fast forward it when it came on....

[Fabrysiheder]

I have a lot of pirated films and music and games, so what?

I don't give a fuck....

[nickrod32]

Memories

[jabbid111]

ahh memories. I used to know this off by heart back in the day.

[pandaeyes42]

Q Have you ever bought or rented a video tape that wasn't quite right?

A. Yeah, "Showgirls"!

[ConManAU]

I'm so glad other Get This/Martin-Molloy fans have already been here. Tony Martin's sketch on the guy who narrates this was great.

[SenhorBundy]

Does the number and/or address still work?

[Marceki111]

Why does the announcer in this video refer to actors, directors, etc. as "artists", as if they were music artitsts?

[d1sintegration]

ahhh vhs, those were the days

[3DPlanets]

Yo dawg I heard you like piracy so I put a BitTorrent in your LimeWire so you can pirate while you pirate!

[MotleyBitch]

Ooooh! ZING at Daryl Somers! Very nice!

I remember this ad so well... I actually knew it off by heart, to my friends amusement :P Thanks for putting this up... brought back LOTS of memories :D

[danielgonline]

@MotleyBitch Not my zinger, unfortunately; the credit for the Daryl Somers joke must go to one Tony ("Martin/Molloy", "Get This") Martin.

[JaycoMCrew]

ring tone material right there =)

cheers mate!

[JaycoMCrew]

ring tone material right there =)

cheers mate!

[Mentocthemindtaker]

One thing I could never understand is it says one of the indicators of piracy is 'the absence of warnings, such as this at the beginning of the tape presentation.'

If the warning is absent, then how the hell are you supposed to know about the anti-piracy warning in the first place?!

AAAGH!

[TheTvGuru3]

lol the warnings must b havin a sick day if there's an absence of warnngs

[dylantuohy]

used to hate this soooo much when i was the kid!

[thebuffmister]

can someone put a video of what use to be before this, it was like a series of clips from movie, it had back to the future 3 than termintator, i havent seen that in years.

[danielgonline]

Try "Ratings Advice - VHS Rating Trailer (1995)" from YouTube user pelepollo.

[thebuffmister]

cheers mate

[aza454]

did anyone used to fast forward through this? then when you hit play again, you'd say "this message... will self destruct" that was what me and my sis always used to do... :]

[joronamo888]

I used to love how his voice got so deep at the end of every sentance. Watching this so much as a kid has "2103" tattooed in my mind forever.

[NOOPSTA1]

alvarez ya fucking spick

[mattae86]

This is obviously not a pirate tape. It has the warning at the start, and the quality is awesome :)

[linkyblinky]

I've seen this on my Old Bear videos.

[jaykhunter]

AWESOME video....WOW.... VHS baby.... I hate hearing about this anti-piracy stuff on legitimate DVDs...can't skip through them, unlike with tapes :)

Maybe they should have anti-piracy ads only on pirated tapes :D

This is a really ineffective ad. Seriously! It's quite poor.

[venuecam]

The VCR generation lurve this.

Only problem is that a pirate copy wouldn't have this at the start so how would you know?

[gwhodo90]

sadly, years of watching videos has imprinted this on my mind. i can recite the whole thing from start to finish, yet i can't remember what will be on my test later this week.

[CroatianCreation93]

ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOO OMG BHAHAHA dis i hilarious

[MisterSenseless]

Isn't it now FACT instead of the Australian film and video security office?

[danielgonline]

Yes, nowadays it's AFACT, the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft.

[travelsonic]

Kinda retarded name ain't it? Since you can't steal a copyright from somebody just by pirating, especially not how most laws in the US, UK, Australia, and other counties work on top of the nature of "IP" and copyright.

[superaltman]

ah, i remember this. back when they were warning you that you are getting ripped off by the pirates.

now instead they just crap on about how your a criminal.

[ChibiEle]

haha I totally remember this. Much better than that "You wouldn't" shizz we get now. And you could fast forward through it! Was totally funny to see the words whizzing by. ;P

[djrobertjohnson]

"You Probably wouldent get this message on a pirate tape"

THANK GOD!!!

[KaySludge]

Thanks so much for this. My and my brother pissed ourselves laughing when we saw this. We were looking for it last year, so i was overjoyed when i saw it.

[cheechi]

haaahahahahha :D

oldschool ~

[TechneonX]

Oh god yes!

[BluemoonmcfcTV]

When they used to fast forward this at school, we would yell HAVE YOU GOT WHAT YOU PAID FOR as it went through...

[superaltman]

whoa, were you in my class?

i remember doing that hahah

[SenhorBundy]

@BluemoonmcfcTV

Nice! I used to get mad when it was fast forwarded for some reason hahaha

[billybobabob]

I like to use this as a vocal warmup when doing barry white covers..

[brisrangakid]

Have you ever bought or rented a videotape that wasn't QUITE right?

[depor23]

Wow! I didn't know it went that slow. I used to always fast forward through this.

[gozziguy]

HA! omg i remember this word for word from when i was a kid lol...god thats sad...haha lol

[zaideistars]

I'd like to say thankyou for this post... I am usually a positive person with positive comments for youtube posters but I have to sigh and breath slowly and clearly ask WTF... with the upmost appreciation for your time, effort and contribution ofcourse :)

[depor23]

What the f*** are you on about, mate?

(@ zaideistars if this post isn't put directly under it)

[Lachlant1984]

Oh man! I haven't seen this in years. My family didn't actually have a VCR until 1998, but I still saw this when watching videos at school, or at friends houses, oh wow. Thanks so much for posting this, I think DVD's should also carry this warning.

[KitFallapart]

Frogsack!

[billybobabob]

ohh how good is this?

[KillerWatermelon]

Pirate video has been pirated.

[retroman51]

@KillerWatermelon That means you'll get locked up in a jail inside of an jail!

[crispy1337]

PHONE!

[genxor]

I wonder which type of honey fueled this accouncement.

[anon112337]

Piract funds terrorism

[beanisacarrot]

It's not the same without Tony Martin saying it.

[mulliganmedia]

I remember this. Back when you had control over the video you watched. Now you can't even fast forward these things.

[KatCassidy]

That bit at the end "This message was brought to you by...." I *always* say "This message will self destrcut!" over it.....

[adamdeville]

Best thing ever, I was brought up with this.

[clownatwork]

i reckon! me too! :D
