It Could Have Been So Easy

[h4mster906]

The next day he shot himself

[MisterSenseless]

It's Don't Copy that Floppy for adults.... audio is terrible

[MisterSenseless]

audio is terrible

[pidgin]

That'll teach you not to promote Free Software in your workplace.

[girrrrrrr2]

FUCK SPA!!!

[Kangarooo5]

use linux and copy as much as want all programms on linux are free

[Kangarooo5]

use linux. its free copy as much as want

[morebucks23]

Has someone just stuck a dick in my ear?

[Unclesamslair]

It could have been so easy, if only you'd used open source software.

[tylerfarr]

i did not think you could rape my ears so easy

[romel91]

The audio quality in this video is worse than a youtube poop. It's like someone pirated this video off of usenet in 1995 and kept it on their 2GB hard drive in their basement for 15 years.

Either that or they recorded the vhs version to another vhs and then put it through the dishwasher.

Also the SIIA (formerly SPA) is an extortion racket.

[ImNeverLost]

Sound is out of sync, video quality is crap, and the sound quality is like 32kbps? My eyes and ears hurts now:(

This is definitely shittiest quality I've ever seen.

[classicnz]

A lesson how NOT to "Copy" a video tape! Maybe Macrovision was in there! colour banding and distorted audio . niiiiice. :-P

[naxps]

What was with the monochrome to diverse color transition?

[longcatisloooooong]

ear rape

[fuwad84]

what they could REALLY use for this video is some of Adobes video editing and touch up software, but that all costs thousands of dollars. Hmmm....

[AndrewFaulds]

fuwad84: they restored dont copy that floppy very well, why cant they restore this?

also their members donate software so they dont need to pay :P

[TaoNakamora]

This video just makes the SPA look like huge jerks, as they ruined this guy's life.

[starlingrock]

ill make sure he gets the message puny humans we robots will kill you all

[xparasite9]

Are you sure this isn't a YTP? Such Ear Rape...

[fuwad84]

ARGGGGG, set your firewal to interactively filter connections and use common sense. Thatll protect you from the evil SPA and CIA from showing up at your company home. Also visit place called The Pirate Bay Organization and another place call Mini Nova Commercial Site

[TheOnlyLoneSolja]

It's 2009 and the crappy quality sucks. Get up to date if you're going to try to scare me.

[CholeraSC]

I can't believe the whole software industry couldn't come up with a few Adobe studio programmers or game designers to volunteer to make these videos not suck. This makes me think all of these videos, especially the "sequel" floppy one, are a really subtle parody, or a sophisticated false flag op to make the software industry look like huge tools...

[CholeraSC]

Wow..........

[scilonthreat]

Thats why people should use open source software and Linux. Avoids the whole damn mess of shitty software and legal issues.

[asbestocide]

fear mongering ftw

[HomocidalCanineK9]

I am a programmer and I spend a lot of times on the games I make. I give them out free. Why? I'm a good person. BAM.

[faisalm1991]

do u guys believe it is ok to make money using pirated software?

personally, I think that if you want to use software like photoshop or audio/video editing software to create a product that you sell, you should pay for it. and if you use it for your own enjoyment, you don't really have to buy it if you can't afford it.

[scilonthreat]

OR just use Ubuntu and get legal free versions.

[chuckbear]

yes he did because they are whores

they want their money!

[datronz]

LOL (but he said copyright holders) :P

[Dafoodmaster]

@CorgyX thats what they are

[andrewh23]

Software audit? WTF? I guess all the murders have been solved.

[Greichen]

The law does not determine what is right and wrong! What is right and wrong determines law! We need to stop eating this bullshit just because some suits and ties lobby away our rights without representing the public.

[STpacific]

FREE SOFTWARE FOR ALL

[Dafoodmaster]

@STpacific Information diserves to be free

[Ayrshore]

@Dafoodmaster You need a pirate copy of the dictionary...

[Dafoodmaster]

@Ayrshore Have one. Damn captcha's..

[mygaffer]

Hey, SIIA, this video is a great example of why people make their own copies of videos, you guys don't understand quality.

[mygaffer]

Don't want to live in fear of the threats groups like SIIA are always making? Two words, open source, where you legally don't have to pay for the software! Do a quick google search and you'll get some great info, Open Source is the future.

Should software patents even be legal? I don't think so and the point is still in contention.

[stingyzx]

USE FREE SOFTWARE AND EVERYONE WINS

[SubZeroNinjaVampire]

lol sony got caught!

[Antwan1500]

wtf? software auditing? my school uses a bootleg unregistered copy of winXP lol! antipiracy is bullshit.

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

Since you just admitted, there will be mobs of feds awaiting at your door and school.

They'll be over at your house within one hour... but don't take it personally.

[Antwan1500]

lol thats some funny bullshit why would they come to my house if its my school that bootlgs software?

[Antwan1500]

oh yea i have that playstation piracy video, i have that on an old underground disc. that videos over 10 years old! things have changed and i dont see any reason why the esa would put me or my school on its priority list considering the things i use are for private use. they would rather focus on the people selling the bootlegged games. plus its all just propaganada to scare us not, like all that bullshit that smoking weed can kill you or heavy metal music makes people suicidal :)

[Antwan1500]

how do you expect them to find me and why do you think they would go after me in peticular? its all a load of bullshit it is impossible to contain piracy. do you know how many people use torrents and get away with it? i think we have much MUCH bigger problems in the world than piracy.

[Antwan1500]

fuck it i dont feel like getting into a flame war. you do what you want and i will do what i.

[Antwan1500]

HA! give up i would never im just not in the mood for some faggot like you to come along and start a flame war and get me pissed off.

just remember that i sleep sound at night knowing i illegal download stuff and so does millions of other people.

good bye!

[fakeTubeAcct]

trick question - you don't

[VampireLordAlucard]

No, its actually a bit different. If someone goes to Fry's Electronics and steals a copy of Photoshop, that store no long has a copy to sell. If you go online and download a copy, then the original company hasn't really "lost" anything. If someone never plans to invest $1000 or w/e for a copy of Photoshop CS4, and downloads it just because they can, then Adobe hasn't lost a dime. You could debate that they lost a potential customer, but thats about it.

[TheOnlyLoneSolja]

Exactly...if you were NEVER going to buy it in the first place how were they going to make money anyways?

[travelsonic]

Easy? Bullshit.

I take it you take the side of BSA tactics

AntiSoftwarePirates?

[MisterSenseless]

audio and video gets out of sync fast

[fakeTubeAcct]

I was only able to suffer the first 1:30, but here's what I learned about copying software:

1) it makes middle management sweat - hard

2) it keeps kids occupied, teaches them to use their computers, and allows them to create new, original social interactions with peers

3) it betters prepares this guy to babysit for the weekend

4) it disentangles these people from attachment to earthly objects

5) it increases office productivity

6) it creates a new species of private sector secret police

[KalebMcc009]

Gee, you corporate types sure know what's best! I never realized how great the HD content you sell was until I saw this! I swear, I'll never pirate ANYTHING ever!

Lord knows you guys need all the money you can get to keep pumping out great vids like this without selling one of your mansions!

[MrCopyrightViolator]

Did you guys watch the video capture before uploading? The actual video starts at 13 seconds, the volume was too high, AND it gets progressively out of sync. The frame rate could have been better, too.

But hey, you stopped me from copying *this* video...

[RichoRosai]

Zing!

[laladude234]

I could probably find them some open source editing software and make a good copy of this video. Of course I don't want to take the chance they'll sue for me fixing their stuff.

[adammurphy]

i don't mind nonprofit copyright infringement until it gets ridiculous, but when it comes to companies copying software that they can actually afford in licensed volumes

[aywwts4]

Especially not that easy now that you have CALs, Terminal Service Cals, hosted web apps with licenses

This is why my shop is switching over to open source more and more. licenses will kill paid software, don't "evangelize" free software, I tell them we need to order 40 more cals, 40 licenses of XP Pro, antivirus, office, csr app, etc... and my boss says "Well can we do this with that Linux thing?"

.

[commodore256]

Most of the Software I use Is free to begin with. Communism FTW!!!!

[pixeldrift]

"They have every right! They're the Software Protection Association!" Hahaha. Priceless.

[mcbentleson]

A group that is trying to teach us the proper way to use technology should know enough about technology to turn to audio down while importing.

[jf8943pkg]

Maybe more people would watch this if the audio wasn't clipping for the entire video. What the heck does your organization do? I never hear about them, and I really don't think anyone cares about some long forgotten advocacy group.

[mrpostal]

this is laughable. software compliance is not 'just that easy', there's commercial auditing software these days, not all licence agreements are anywhere near the same, different schemes. it's red-tape hell. no wonder the business world is moving to open source. it's gotten progessively worse since the production of this laggy, bad audio dub pro-copyright-lock-everything-­down agenda film.
