The IT Crowd - Series 2 - Episode 3: Piracy warning

[MegaSOSbrigade]

ACTA anyone?

[leandromelhorlima]

love it !

[wase39]

omg this is the most hardcore IT commercial i've ever seen

[midgerobo450]

one second the FBI agent isn't there the next second like magic he appeared...creepy

[abelpower]

The girl is downloading something from megaupload that why the F.B.I agent is behind of her

[diegoioli]

S.O.P.A. and P.I.P.A. comercial

[mijzelffan]

Can I have thumbs up?

[1yayax]

ctrlshifttab It is stealing to copy Item A. Ever heard of intellectual property?

[migborisson]

S.O.P.A.

[SamuelJoaodaSuica]

1.) Piracy=Robbery= Forcefully repossessing something WITH the Owner's awareness

2.) Stealing= secretly repossessing something WITHOUT the owner's awareness

3.) Copying= making another of something that is already there...

All three are VERY different...

[34Amadeus]

shit, blood, shooting - is it really funny?

[Tigregalis]

@34Amadeus Clearly you have no concept of parody. That wasn't the funny bit. That was merely to express absurdity, a common technique in parody.

[emoshady95]

@34Amadeus Cry some more.

[popkorn256]

Using Megaupload is stealing. If you do it, you will face the consequences :(

[Donut117]

@popkorn256 thats a joke right? its misconceptions like that that make it so difficult to protest against attacks on the internet.

using megaupload is not stealing at all. its a file hosting website. it just so happens that quite a few people use it to host copyrighted material. THATS when it becomes stealing. just using the site is not a problem at all.

[ilovemusicWIKA]

I did all of those things before breakfast

[Lymmar]

Matt Berry.



[lilmale]

IT Crowd must not know about the chavs on my road. they would do most of these things

[WizzyKidCreations]

@lilmale That's also part of the irony of it.

[SkeithGaming]

Google "Download a Car"

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?

[Albylion]

*downloads IT Crowd Seasons 1-4*

[GamingSho]

"...and then steal it AGAIN!"

that part always cracks me uo

[Sardatheist]

SOPA, 'nuff said.

[SeanTheOriginal]

I loved those old "stop pirating" things you'd get before films. I laugh at them every time because they don't understand what "stealing" actually means. Since you can't steal a digital copy, and making a copy doesn't deprive someone else of that copy, it's the exact opposite of stealing. It's sharing.

And in terms of that, I WOULD pirate a purse, I WOULD pirate a car, I WOULD pirate a cop, kill him, shit in his helmet, mail it to his pirated widow and pirate it again. If I could.

[halogen123]

@SeanTheOriginal It IS stealing. Just because you aren't directly depriving someone else of having it, it doesn't mean it's not stealing. The world has moved on, old definitions have to be updated for modern times.

[ctrlshifttab]

@halogen123

>Just because you aren't directly depriving someone else of having it, it doesn't mean it's not stealing.

Depriving someone of their belongings is exactly what "stealing" means. The world HAS moved on and when you copy copyrighted material illegally that's piracy - because it's not the same as stealing. Taking away your 'Item A' is not the same as copying your 'Item A' as you still have 'Item A' - so it's not the same thing and should not be treated as such.

[Tigregalis]

@halogen123 What you said is ironic, because there is already a modern term, with a modern definition, for what you describe: piracy. Piracy is not stealing. Stealing is an 'old' term for an 'old' phenomenon, and is distinguishable from piracy. Piracy itself was a term that has a definition that has been updated (you know, the guys with the eye patches?). Perhaps, rather than tell people to update their definitions to suit you, you should instead update your vocabulary for modern times.

[vecryn]

@Tigregalis You do realize that real pirates still exist today on boats and do what those did back in the day with eye patches right? So the "old" definition still applies since that "old" form of piracy still exists today, you just don't hear about it as much.

[Tigregalis]

@vecryn Real stealing exists as well. What's your point?

[letsdeuxthis]

i guess i could buy the dvd legally or i could PIRATE IT!

[360lolz]

What is even funnier is that the original anti piracy ad creators were sued because they stole the soundtrack from some guy. Research it on Google, it is true

[hapytreefriends78]

IT Crowd cancelled.

:O

[lamecasuelas2]

@hapytreefriends78 nooo!! nooooooooooo! nooooooooooooooooooooo!! fuck that!! arrrggg!!!!

[Rooskyify]

SOPA!? D:

[m7870]

I hate adds.

[MrOiManDudeGuy]

an ad in order to watch an ad -___-

[WoWArder]

sooo FBI have right shoot someone who is loaded or loading from torrent?

god bless finland here is not YET FBI

[Karosene]

@WoWArder Uhh... it's a joke?

[RenzOnIPower]

@WoWArder hihi, you are a retard :p

[WoWArder]

@RenzOnIPower what IF i were sarcasted... i stole your face

[RenzOnIPower]

@WoWArder How can you be sarcrasted?? It sounds like being raped or something :p I didn't know u could use Sarcasme as a verbe :p

[WoWArder]

@RenzOnIPower No im not being raped but i wanted just post 1 fun comment but meh for you.

[dexdex1560]

This definetly know NOTHING about how I live my life!

[hollh003]

90 people are internet pirates.

[DrunkSamurai]

@hollh003 I think you meant RIAA employees.

[hollh003]

@DrunkSamurai lol

[PepperizedLikesSalt]

I used to watch The IT Crowd alot. But then I took an arrow in the knee...

[sirhelmet]

@PepperizedLikesSalt now you're stuck being a town guardsman, huh? that's too bad

[raskolnikowPL]

Thumbs up if you came here after watching "Only a few dollars".

[lifestudios]

@raskolnikowPL Fuck yes!

[LurchibaldBioshock]

@raskolnikowPL I thumb down anything that asks for a "thumbs up"

[MegaVietNam]

@LurchibaldBioshock Me too! Those damn attention whores >:L

[field33P]

@LurchibaldBioshock And I thumb down both.

[gabbsie]

90 people faced the consequences.

[anthonya1g]

This video could be categorized as piracy lol

[verbod]

@anthonya1g

no, its the official IT Crowd channel

[JSHuiting]

@anthonya1g Why? Look who uploaded it D:

[Morrisman1996]

I love Youtube debates.

[myndwork]

venoms voice

[payneo218]

don't tell me what i won't do

[FarmerDan92]

Their keyboards will run red with their blood...

[xenopeltismulticolor]

The best part about piracy is not having to sit through those stupid anti piracy ads.

[chanceturcotte]

@xenopeltismulticolor That is hilarious irony right there.

[CommandoFin]

Hell yea I'd do all this

[Jostra123]

This makes me laugh so hard.

[rorisftw]

piracy video and u sell those clips on dvd. lol im going to download em with torrent :D

[MaverCZ]

well i simply hate chaos. so i just reorganize binary data bits on my HDD into form i saw somewhere on the internet from time to time. You cant call that stealing :)

[yxoxuxxtxuxbxe]

you get to much commercials that you can't skip on originals that you PAY for

[rustblack2011]

pro piracy video and you disable video embedding..what a douche

[JSHuiting]

@rustblack2011 Isn't this channel from the creators of the IT Crowd? :o

[AlexRaGeAHoLiC]

@rustblack2011 well you can always download it and reupload it but becarefull of FBI

[Neonprettykitty]

Lol

[roger123275]

88 people would steal a baby.

[fifa7xpvista]

IT CROWD HAS BEEN CANCELLED

[venomblade891]

@fifa7xpvista what!? no!! you sure? I thought a 5th season was coming :(

[YuichiTaira]

You wouldn't steal a policeman's helmet and go to the toilet in it... would you? apparently if your a pregnant woman you can and it's legal. :D

[tania2020tania]

great work

[Razormiller]

"Embedding disabled by request" is a load of cock

[alanheath]

What I can't understand is what we have to watch these warnings about piracy and pirate movies because it is a crime so therefore we don't do it but look at Johnny Depp - he made a fortune out of pirate movies.

[cbbbtc]

@alanheath LOL

[alanheath]

@cbbbtc It is the way I tell them!

[cbbbtc]

@alanheath lol probably

[juicybeast117]

@alanheath how so?

[alanheath]

@juicybeast117 That was a joke!

[juicybeast117]

@juicybeast117 excuse me one second I need to slap myself in the face for not seeing that 

[alanheath]

@juicybeast117 No problem!

[alanheath]

@juicybeast117 I have got a feeling you don't get the joke!

[Kstylero7]

@alanheath CHECK E-

HAHAHA!

oh man. Now Thats a joke!

[Dan69WasTaken]

if it was any good we would buy it but when u put out shit we don't know if we want to spend our money on it?

[kikitikiboom]

LOVE this show, LOVE the advert.

[slamspeed12]

i wish i had the internet in a box :(

[XxPELICAN999xX]

Love it later on in this episode when the German cannibal complains about the piracy ads :P

[MattRuaneBlog]

THE MOST EPIC LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLL I'VE EVER FUCKING GIVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mandwithmadness]

i illegally downloaded ant piracy ads to teach myself the meaning of irony.

[AzfarGamers90]

You wouldn't steal the toilet...

[Mike480537]

brought to you by piratebay

[wutefuk]

You know what's the irony? When you pirate a movie you don't have to sit through 5 different commercials and 2-3 piracy warnings. You simply just watch the movie.

[4ever1Ledzeppelin]

lol. wen she gets shot in head it makes me lol

[DrStrangeDreams]

You wouldn't steal... A BABY.

[nicholasrhigh]

Is it just me, or would you kill people for the kind of download speed that girl from the piracy ad's getting?

[MrKevinOpel]

Baconham Lincoln :)

[80strowns]

We could all be really ironic and pirate the dvd set of this show...

[ladders1]

@AlmostHelpless If it were physically possible to download a car I damn well would!

[burnticeblues]

this is the best parody iv seen

[uzaiyaro]

I think they should change the piracy warnings. Evidently British people would steal a handbag or a car.

[sircmpwn]

As if it takes that little time to download a movie. I wish I had her internet connection.

[ryanemm1001]

@sircmpwn 700mb rip in 47 seconds round where i am.

[kurikiri]

@gogolplex74

You pay for your Satellite/Television service, which pays the channels they air, which pays the makers of the shows to air their shows, so the makers get money.

When you download it, noone but you gets anything.

Hope that cleared it up for you.

[dantesnake23]

@kurikiri you know... there's also free television... like the one you get from a radio antenna? the same method of moneymaking for that kind of TV can be applied to the internet... Hollywood just needs to get into the torrent business. :P

[gogolplex74]

@kurikiri well I have to pay for internet connection

[TheLennonLad]

@gogolplex74 Even if you pay for your internet, this doesnt mean you pay for the ability to watch the show. the money that pays for the shows to be released comes from backing. paying for the internet isnt like paying for the show. it would be like paying for food in mcdonalds and stealing a kfc. It doesnt work like that. You need to stop being one of these people who thinks the world works like this. otherwise your screwed when you hit puberty.

[chanceturcotte]

@TheLennonLad

Think outside the box. 

12 million starving to death each year in the world is more important to solve than having first-world media profits from existence of copyright. Those hurt by progressive, helpful technology of the internet need to find other jobs. Your arms aren't the size of toothpicks; you'll endure.

I prefer homegrown media without superficiality of profit-driven agendas anyway.

[alanheath]

@chanceturcotte In the first place no-one is suggesting that copyright is more important than 12m people starving. And in the second, without profit many films and programs are not going to be made. Of course you could make a start and lead the way by going to work - and not taking any pay!

[chanceturcotte]

@alanheath

They won't be made? That's exactly what I'm suggesting. Give up 1/30th of the world war budget, eliminate non-necessities such as mass media... There are may things we can do to solve the problem right away. I am trying to just pay my room and my food bills and help out with the remaining money I have. it's not their fault they are born where they are. They need to be helped before they can help themselves. I am trying to lead the way. I hope all will join me.

[alanheath]

@chanceturcotte No-one is forcing you to pay for non necessities including the mass media. You can use your resources to help the less fortunate as you suggest. I hope you are successful.

[chanceturcotte]

@alanheath

Thank-you Alan.

[chanceturcotte]

@chanceturcotte

Media is copied to many devices now, and often just stays on the computer it is downloaded to, so the levy of CDs encompasses narrow criteria now and is outdated.

[chanceturcotte]

If we want to further subsidize artists, I like the idea of having an international media digital database. Each citizen has a unique pin to access the database. The artist with the most unique user downloads is compensated the most. Some don't like this model because of its mandatory nature for even non-consumers of media (be that a verrrrry small amount of people). People had this argument against CD levies in Canada, but that law was passed.

[chanceturcotte]

@alanheath The greatest literary arts of all time were not born out of an expectancy of huge profits as we have today.

[alanheath]

@chanceturcotte I am sure Shakespeare had bills to pay. He would not have paid them if he had not got paid.

You may be able to live without money and work for free. You should share your secret with the rest of us!

[chanceturcotte]

@alanheath Being that Sharepeares works were largely borrowed from others, I'd imagine him deeply troubled in lieu of copyright as it exists today. Google "would shakespeare copyright".

Who is proposing to do without money? I am proposing to eliminate a system containing wasteful, unnecessary jobs (expensive promotion, advertisement, and distribution systems) in favour of small, technologically informed, smart business models which take the best of new technology and pre-printing press ideas.

[chanceturcotte]

A working model, for instance, would be a media artist that develops a fan base over time. It takes time and doesn't happen overnight, contrasted to what modern instant-gratification societal norms would suggest.

From what I've read, modern artists make more money through concerts than relying on duplicating their works for mass distribution. Concert promoters are getting a huge chunk, but media artists are at least better off that what they were before with heavy label control.

[chanceturcotte]

@chanceturcotte

Shakespeare offered real scarcity in selling tickets to his theater productions. If you couldn't get in to his show, then it would be tough luck. Even if there were imitator productions, I would bet Shakespeare would still be the main pull among the most well-off people that pay a premium to see shows direct from him, and only him.

[chanceturcotte]

There is a huge backlash and misinformation, and resistance to improved technology out there because of the money muscle of large media industries in trying to convince people that filesharing is wrong. The money they miserly robbed of artists, which peaked in the 80s and 90s, is being put strongly to use right now to lobby their outdated business models. Given smart buying decisions by us, we can ensure that honey pot of theirs runs dry.

[chanceturcotte]

@alanheath

As far as non-media copyright goes, I believe it should be either heavily restricted, or abolished completely. Government subsidizes should go towards improving environmentally-friendly technologies and solving world poverty (through abolishment of tyranical regimes and by promoting modern, sustainable government, promoting a safe business environment through peacekeeping, and funding infrastructure that the most impoverished nations can use to look after themselves),

[chanceturcotte]

@alanheath

Abolishing copyright, promoting the environment, and simpler, smaller business models to eliminate waste is just one way we can restore balance in the world. 1/30th of the world's war budget could solve world hunger ) to get that taken care of right away [there is enough food for 4.3lbs per person in the world, per day currently]). We could also try to be more vegetarian to consume 3 times less resources, and live in smaller, better built houses.

[chanceturcotte]

Having more media to consume should be the least of our expectancies right now. We are living such a high quality of life already. People with the lowest decile of income in the U.S. still have more money than 2/3rds of the world.  Our business practices which hurt the third world stem from big business models, inflated so, more or less, from copyright.

[gogolplex74]

So I can watch my favourite movie or series for free on TV but not on PC?

that makes no sense

[echoingheads]

@gogolplex74 But the TV has adverts in it... so, in the views of capitalism, it's all right.

[cellogreg]

@gogolplex74 do you not pay for cable? are you stealing it from your neighbor?

[gogolplex74]

@cellogreg well I also have to pay for internet connection for torrenting

[el6caballo6oscuro6]

@gogolplex74 but that money doesn't go to the production companies - and why should everyone pay extra for that if not everyone does it??

[TheLennonLad]

@gogolplex74 Technically its not free to watch them ontv. Sponsers and television adverts pay for the broadcasting of the show. Watching the show on 44od also is a legal way of watching it online. but watching fro ma third party site is illegal because there are no adverts. No adverts on bbc you say? well thats because we pay the tv license for those channels. you shouldnt complain about something you dont understand.

[alanheath]

@TheLennonLad I fail to see why there is a TV licence. People who do not watch BBC have to pay for it whilst the BBC competes with private channels. Indeed you can legally watch BBC i player without a licence but need to pay to watch freeview. It is completely wrong. Furthermore, under UK law you are innocent until proven guilty - except as far as TV licences are concerned. There you have to prove you do not have a TV. The system is totally wrong!

[TheLennonLad]

Shame on anyone who thumbs up any comment made by gogoplex74.  video piracy and illegal music downloads are a serious problem and need to be stopped. its not good for the entertainment industry.

[MALKton]

@TheLennonLad your trolling on the other hand is very entertaining ...

[TheLennonLad]

@MALKton Why thank you :)

[FormattedCompatible]

85 would steal a policeman's helmet and go to the toilet in it.

[argebarse]

@FormattedCompatible You mean you wouldn't?!

[pilsking1976]

This anti-piracy ad is hilarious! :D

And the series is also great!

[trekest]

Thumbs up if Keramidas sent you here.

[metaldorksforever666]

Lol about the illegal thing I do it all the time.

[Fmteiss0911ja]

sehr gut

[h3kkin]

The voice over, was that Peter Serofinowicz?

[I3lindGuardian]

My question is why do they put anti piracy warnings on dvds you legitimately purchase...fuckers.

[synxfirefox]

@I3lindGuardian it's obvious, to warn the buyer not to reproduce any copy, or in the case someone acquires a pirated copy, that person may get second thoughts from watching the warning

[synxfirefox]

@ShockerRed obviously, i was talking about pirated CDs, not downloads, duhhh

[Selimberg]

@I3lindGuardian 'Cuz it's funny?

[ajcpianoforte]

@I3lindGuardian Because when someone copies said DVD, they will also be copying the anti-piracy warning. Idiot.

[jatama1]

@ajcpianoforte so?

[TheToddy30]

@ajcpianoforte Er your the idiot. Usually when someone copies a DVD they don't included the anti piracy warnings. There easily removed and over the years I have purchased 100's of knock off videos and they don't contain such warnings. I buy my DVD's legally now but must people will agree that the anti piracy warnings which you can't skip are just stupid bearing in mind that you have just purchased a geuine copy

[ajcpianoforte]

@TheToddy30 You're*

[BustyGretchen]

@TheToddy30 I call anti piracy warnings "pee breaks".

[AlbertHamik]

@I3lindGuardian Also, maybe it's slightly implying they are watching something pirated? I dunno, maybe not, but it's still a great clip, from a good show.

[ccnnffpp00660077]

@I3lindGuardian So that people who watch bootleg copies see the warning.

[fraserelliottguitar]

@I3lindGuardian You might make illegal copies of that dvd?

[4DPerformance]

@fraserelliottguitar any DVDrip you're likely to find will have had the warning taken off. I think even when you download the full 4.7GB DVD they won't be on there. But who cares, they don't do anything at all.

[fraserelliottguitar]

@4DPerformance I didn't ever say that people don't remove the clip from a DVD, but it is a warning to people making those pirated films.

[HoneyIEducatedTheWeb]

@I3lindGuardian

Because you could rent it and then copy it.

-Kills myself-

Well done to the morons voting this up.

[Pancettie]

@I3lindGuardian As opposed to putting anti-piracy warnings on pirated DVDs?

[NickPuleio]

@I3lindGuardian .... that might be the stupidest question ive ever heard ... how did this possibly get top comment ?

[Kotoszayel]

laugh track. Bloody hell

[knowsfords]

@Kotoszayel its a live audience.

[Kotoszayel]

@knowsfords everything passed season 1 was laugh track

[knowsfords]

@Kotoszayel go watch the dvds... they show the audience. The first season was a general studio audience, series 2/3/4 were fans.

[fisk55]

LotR > Harry Potter.

Discuss.

[spooky0315]

@fisk55 No thank you.

[wormsto]

@fisk55 You're absolutely correct. Lord of the rings is an epic tale of war and friendship and whatnot, while Harry Potter is a mess of deux ex machinas.

[darkarima]

Man, these anti-piracy ads are getting mean.

[turfute]

and then steal it again
