Don't Copy That Floppy - Anti-Piracy - Classic Propaganda

[godieinafirenow]

close your eyes and watch the first 10 seconds

[ghmaster21]

MC DP. Badass name.

[jasdaman2]

his eyes are really creepy

[TJ5897]

Bullshit, the anti piracy ads are to help the retail. not the devs. They get paid by the store to sell copies, and the store gets paid to sell you their copies. Piracy doesn't directly hurt the devs it just hurts the distributors(and it doesn't hurt them very much) Places like Wal-Mart preach this, but then they use children for slave labor the cheap evil bastards.

[MrDougiemo]

@TJ5897 What are you talking about? Of course it affects the developers

[TJ5897]

@MrDougiemo No it doesn't. Piracy does not effect how they get paid, they are paid to work on the games, not sell them.

If anything it makes it harder on them to develop DRM

[MrDougiemo]

@TJ5897 Tell that to the countless number of developers who have went bankrupt.

Not all games have a publisher. Most mobile games, for instance, don't have a publisher.

Even when they do have a publisher, they often receive bonuses depending on sales figures.

Also, think about it. The amount of money a publisher makes from a game then determines how much they can put back into investing in developers. If game sales go downhill then so will the amount able to be spent on developing games.

[poliuy1]

Every program you buy is one copy for one computer... yea go screw yourself.

[emceelokey]

Probably just ended up stealing the game.

[ff7masta]

This should be a meme.

[raramstad]

maybe if more people pirated this song, it would be more well known O.o

[kb39295]

Is that queen latifah?!

[DraganDrabic]

IF PEOPLE KEEP STEALING THE GAME IT MAKES LESS MONEY

no shit sherlock

[DraganDrabic]

They should've burned the game to laser disk so it would be more concealable.

[martinsch]

And not a single fuck was given those days...

[AnOvyx]

2011 still funny as hell.

[totenkopf71]

This video is right! I won't copy floppies anymore. I'll only copy CDs & DVDs from now on!

[ACornyCrayon]

How is this not a meme yet?!

[chunkmanshaun]

ill never copy someone elses comment again

[emanj0078164]

On second thought, let's not go to the 90's, tis a silly place

[lonnieljones]

Copyright laws DO NOT protect the artists! They protect the labels and distributors who RIP OFF the artists. So why not rip off those who rip us off?

[chunkmanshaun]

creepy instrumental just creepy

[IAmBombSon]

Craig Dykstra FTMFW 3:11

[nessnes64]

i have halo ce on my flash drive and about 95% of the kids at school have it

We dont know who got it originally

But i also did a texture hack in a game and put Scampers on the moon

i told some guy i was scampers and he said 'thats you?' everyone has it now lolz

[kornholioa]

GAMING ISN'T WANT YOU WANNA COPY, BAD QUALITY FROM COPIES, BUT MUSIC AND MOVIES ARE WHAT YOU COPY

[MaidenFan24568]

Im never going to copy floppy disks ever again, because now i got cds, and portables hard drives they work so much better

[TheBaconlaser]

CD's companies destroyed themselves by charging over $15.00 for a frikken CD back in the day. Viacom-Warner and every other Idiot-Company who underestimated the 21st century is welcome to try and buy . People will switch media as easily as switching websites. (Any sites like Youtube that don't ban music on user video's?)

[chunkmanshaun]

"crash and burn" lol wtf

[Domarius64]

This needs a transcript - the audio is so bad, particularly at 6:30, I couldn't understand a word they were saying.

[Nordzumu]

And then piracy grew, and so, today, we barely have games... HAHAHAHAHAHA

[iAstro129]

@Nordzumu So true...

[MrJustinKnight]

can you imagine a virus like this?

these guys taught me how to use a search engine when i was in grade school

[geebmaster]

This video makes BIG assumptions that:

1) He will know enough people to copy.

2) Also everything will line up JUST right so that there will be alot of copies.

3) It will actually make a big enough impact to stop the project.

4) The people are stupid enough that if it does make an impact and the project, would be going down. That they are so stupid they wouldn't release their source code, so the project would live.

[Alex090]

The dark mother singing motherfucker is scary as fuck, of course they wont copy that shit!!

[cb52211]

YOU ARE A PIRATE!!!

[exoddus1]

I download this video from piratebay.

[CamNoble]

What about vaporware and retro computing?

[RoseberryC]

They say they lose money, but what if you wouldnt have bought the game if you didnt get it for free? they wouldnt have made any money either way. At least they get some word of mouth advertising to someone who may actually buy the game

[CamNoble]

1:44 to 1:50 Multiple Man's cousin

[CamNoble]

Don't Choppy that Jalopy!

[Yuriofwind]

Man, I remember in the early 90's when having a small black man start rapping and dancing inside your computer was just normal.

[HellFireUlisses]

after all the singing to dont copy, and at end they said they allow it with non profit! haha i loled hard, so he could copy it to himself and his friend just fine.

[KG84C]

copy the floppy, no one will catch you, and no one gives a crap

[therealmetroidmaniac]

2:34 WELCOME TO THE END OF THE COMPUTER AGE

LINUX RULES THE EARTH NOW.

I'M FREE BITCHES

[903harman]

this is so stupid! that guy isnt make profit on that .2 cent game all he is doing is sharing it with his friend! if cavemen never shared there food we wouldn't be alive right now! fuck anti piracy they take shit to damn serious!

[SNESosT]

Wolf "Can't let you copy that starfox"

[CamNoble]

@SNESosT Would you rather have Slippy Toad popping up on-screen and rapping instead?

[flippyflappy1]

I am going to have to set this for my ringtone - DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY

[DDTPZX]

Now its...dont florrent that torrent! ....florrent?

[rodisnothere]

haha motherfucker i got a usb card, lol eat 2gb of power idiot! :D

[jeshaw3242]

@rodisnothere

define what a "usb card" is? also 2gb of power? since when is GB used to measure levels of power? -_-

[rodisnothere]

@jeshaw3242 Usb card our usb memory, when im saying 2gb of power i mean about space, floppy had like 1.44mb of free space will usb memorys know have like 2gb of power (memory space hee free mb), geazzze its just sarcasm -_-

[mirasame]

How did they get a movie file into a 3.5" floppy...? It must be SUPREME HIGH DENSITY.

[super58173]

Bitch, I own software protection. Besides, this is all about money.

[foxonyoutub]

this started pirate bay!

[chunkmanshaun]

WOW JUST WOW LOL THIS IS BEAST

[LemmingAttack]

I'd be freaked out if my computer did that when I tried torrenting something D:

[megamarsvin]

What the hell were they thinking? Kids are going to pay attention to this nonsense for almost 10 minutes? :D

[synth77]

this is really long

[layzergun]

I will pirate more in order to get these ads to go away.

[3DPlanets]

Yeah, a 1.4 MB floppy will totally hold over 8 minutes of TV-quality video. Just like an early 90's computer will perfectly display perfect-quality video without dithering. *facepalm* And it's not like a lack of people buying software will cause all software in existence to suddenly disappear and turn computers into doorstops. *epic facepalm*

[urpmi]

Gee, every one of my games on floppy tells you to be sure to copy it so you have a backup in case the floppy goes bad.

[MrDebauch]

lol,  it's funny because now we are copying this video! lol.

[kd0jej]

LOLLLL!!!!

[battybuddy]

They should really make a joke virus where when it activates you get this guy dancing and singing

[KissMeImPunk]

Floppy's are SOOOOO 25 years ago.

[MrDebauch]

@KissMeImPunk so is this video

[Redpet241]

now that is all my court mandated ryme so I don't have to do some time

[METALMAN4Wii]

"Noooooooo it burns"........!

[youcantubeittoo]

Don't Fopy that Cloppy.

[hatoradesk8]

I get a thrill form that little utorrent bubble at the bottom right of my screen.

[DeathNoteFreak000]

awwwww... the poor huge filthy rich corporations are losing some money.

[DeathNoteFreak000]

the kid looks like the actor of kick ass...

[manuel8200]

i will not copy that floppy but please Shut the fuuuuuuuuuck uppppppppp man

[nosferotica1]

You do know they hate that second-hand market! They want to make all their shit throw-away items.

I guess they're just letting you know their product is garbage and we should throw it away and stop wasting our money on trash.

I mean, I don't want to buy trash. I throw it away, or recycle it.

Let's follow their lead, my friends. Let's heed their call. Don't buy their products, they are throw away items. Garbage.

Don't buy garbage.

[prizes99live]

i just torrented that song on my computer but it didn't play this stuff automaticaly. Plus most of the money never gets to the programmers. So why fuel a company thats not fair. Do you think the heads of MS care if a few million people torrent? HEELLLNOO They probebly have enough money to put those people on the moon to die just for kiks.

[97channel]

For the love of god, somebody invent a time machine so I can go back to 1992 and kick his propagander rapping ass.

[AustralianPyro]

interesting how the fatcats used scare campaigns saying that, like in the ad, piracy would lead to the end of computers, when really, those "lol1337hackers" formed the BACKBONE of the modern IT industry.

tl:dr

pay as much as you think they deserve.

even of that means not a single cent.

[dukebielak]

This is absolutely hilarious!

[Danerd9]

plz prevent piratebay from dieing people. isohunt and mininova have been changed by the man. PIRATES UNITE

[multipurpose101]

@Danerd9 thepiratebay may die but file sharing never will. there'll always be something new

[prizes99live]

@Danerd9 Hella i donated $100 to keep teh stuff coming in.

[benjwgarner]

The only problem is that DRM is designed to benefit the robber barons rather than the artists and programmers.

[sugreev2001]

Okay,I'll never copy another floppy ever again.

[walkseva]

I lol'd.

[kakaze]

Corey. LOL. SUCH a early 90s name....wonder if everyone with that name is dead now.

[sambaman009]

this happened to me the other day, lucky I had a few images of fried chicken at hand, I just copied them into his mouth and he went away.

[couchpotatodx]

I've learned my lesson, I'll never copy floppy disks again.

[thedarkallies]

OK, I just developed an entire new disrespect for black people.

[starkist1480]

If this happens to my computer, then all I have to do is press Control, Alt, and Delete then end the process.

[stormseye23]

If some failed wannabe rapper popped up on my monitor doing some halfassed rap,it'd have to fucking destroy my computer.

[beatlesecw]

lmfao dont go to soulja boy vids then

[DJ91990]

The problem with this so called "Copyright Law" is that if I don't want an article of Software anymore and I want to sell it second-hand wise and get some of the money I spent back...I can't do that because I would be violating copyright law.

Also, thanks to anti-piracy measures you can't even sell PSP games second-hand anymore! You need some sort of gay ticket thing to get it to work online play wise!

Thus people resort to the tools that pirates use.

Moral of the comment:

PIRATE STUFF!!

[phillipjfry6]

fuck this.

[funwithphobias]

Whoaaah! 20 or 30 people?! There shouldn't be that many ubermensch in one location, one bullet could take 'em all out!

[gaijinblow]

Games back then were shit anyway.

[fire2box]

Yeah... Super Mario Brothers 3 is one of the worst games ever. :P

[beatlesecw]

@fire2box wtf please tell me your joking its the best game

[fire2box]

the smiley wasn't enough for you to know I was being sarcastic?

[beatlesecw]

@fire2box well people just use that smiley all the time anyway so no it wasnt enough.If you said jk or something then i would have known.Anyway sorry i thought you were being serious.

[bodunchar]

funny

[artifactingreality]

man looks like he's having a fit.

[1080Nike]

that black girl probably stole the game the next day

[khalidbinwa]

@1080Nike No I think she let her dumb russian friend to do the job I heard they work for Vodka.

[Shaqstheman000]

It'd have made me die if after all that he clicked 'Yes' on Ready to Copy XD

[LaZodiac]

I can't belive I watched all of this video. I feel like someone bashed me over the head with a pipe laced with LSD. And I don't even know what that would feel like in the first place!

[artman40]

There are only two things anti-piracy measures have done good: They've inspired demoscene subculture and keygen music.

[tunit1000]

The second he started doing the running man would be the 2nd I'd have shut down the PC and BURNED IT! WITH THE DAM FLOPPY!! LOL!

[darkwhitty]

This whole "1 computer 1 copy" is what pisses me off and no argument can convince me otherwise.

If i install a game on a pc then in the future i upgrade the motherboard or get a new system then its still my fucking game that i paid for and I own. Its like they are saying, "here have the disk but the fucking contents on it arent yours". I paid for it then I have the right to access it fucker, if my PC explodes an I gotta buy a new one u think Im re-buying all my games? Fucking jokers

[thetrazor]

acctuly how it works is that if u buy a game, you bought the licens for using the software, u canot let any1 borrow the game or play the game on your computor since only you got the licens for using it, it works the save way if u buy a dvd or a music cd, if u buy a movie only you are allowed to watch it...

But since that just is stupid i dont give a shit about it, i will keep downloading, if i find some music i rly like or a move that is awsome il buy it, but i wont afford to buy everything

[seedaripper1973]

Fucking hell! learn to write! or even spell..or better still 'construct a sentence'

[Luixmai]

So...if i buy a game, and i install it in my 2 COMPUTERS, is similar to stealing it from the store?

LOL, I do not understand it very well xD

[sweYoda]

No offense, but she will not be a programmer ^^

[ricky424242]

...That would be funny if some guy was sneaking a camera into a movie theatre to record a movies and then something similar happened on the screen of his camera.

[landermash]

wow look at david butler well he's a sexy chap isnt he lol

[OscarHastings]

wow

they really know how to appeal to the youth of today

[BigBoseMan]

Dat is da wackest rap shit I ever heard...

[masterpj55]

that progpaganda is a bit right :S

because look at the console games starting to take ove pc games.

less pc games are being developed lately

[Headphoneguy92]

of course theres also all the incompatibilties with PC

software and hardware has to be right

with console, you know it will work ;)

[colortheblue]

Don't Floppy that Copy

[lurconis666]

Everyone involved in the production and propagation of this vile piece of propaganda should be executed.

[Cujucuyo]

Welcome to the future, we have torrents. XD

[SpudsBM]

i think i saw a floppy when i was 6....

[eightdollarwater]

a part of me just died

[glovestrong48]

....AWESOME.

I HAVE LEARNED A LESSON...ABOUT DANCING...

AND DANCING...

AND DANCING...

as well as illegal copying of floppying.

Y'ALL!

[Virginityrocks]

a 16gb flash drive was the capacity of 4,610 floppy disks.

[frontliner2]

actually 11428.57

[ShadxRune]

I am NOT watching 9 minutes of that.

[resistanceunion]

Like USA in 80' was crap funny .. almost every educetional video has like shity rap music XD

[hockey14822]

Wow, that must be where Will Smith got his inspiration.

[papajambo]

10 min !! back then kids had mad attention span!!

[hsd628]

Yes, we did. Now kids are fucking dumb and can't pay attention to anything for more than 3 mins.. :P

[kirakun]

Her voice is lower than his. O lawd.

[LouigiVerona]

Hehe. It's funny how they threaten they won't make any games because they don't get money. "it may not want to make new games". If the only incentive is to make money, perhaps they should go into another field of work. Like go work in a shop - shops are all about money.

[Ashenge]

I'm dancing.

I'm dancing.

I'm dancing.

[Nirual86]

Parts of this aren't even that bad but the whole "lets appeal to the youngsters with rapping!" just makes it silly. Makes me want to copy that floppy just to spite this stupid vid.

[penguinton]

D: Oh noes with all these pirates were going to lose the internets!!!!!

[mesmorino]

Man, I'd sure love to copy HER floppy

[jestertheork]

i dont know what i just saw, but i have a sudden posessive urge to COPY DAT FLOPPY!!!

[Celtore1324]

you know whats ironic? go to "Don't Copy That Floppy (HIGH QUALITY version!)" on the side bar. This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Software & Information Industry Association. XD!!!

[iLoveMyDS]

Neverwinter Nights was pretty cool.

[R3dP1rate]

Those eyes are so incredibly creepy...

[stormy3658]

This is... just so gay... I mean, wow, this guy is a frikkin shill, and not even for "mad monies"... for EDUTAINMENT.

[Spade1800]

Wow. if i could dance like that, i could probably rid the world of all criminal scum. FLOPPIES WILL NEVER BE COPIED AGAIN!!! OH AND LOOK OUT TERRORISM!!!!

[therealmetroidmaniac]

Welcome to the end of the computer age...

EVER HEARD OF LINUX

[therealmetroidmaniac]

the company makes less money:

they only made OVER 9000 million dollars last year

[ClockworkHobo]

Go slippery slope arguments.

[SkuldChan42]

The real irony is that the copy of Tetris they display here was ripped off from the original author...

Also neverwinter nights I'm pretty sure was free to play with a compuserve sub.

[powermousey]

What with these hard economic times and things getting worse, lot sof games too expensive, more games are mediorce or just crap, lot of game companies and publishers viewing their customers as criminals...and incorporating DRM malware which is illegal and aso killing off the second hand market, and a lot of buggy games and the attitude of release game on time or earlier and patch later There are a lot of freeware games, free online games and games that I haven't fnished playing yet.. cheers

[1macsucks1]

Off to demonoid...

[Alucard647]

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to mininova :D

[MAZZZIT]

1/5

[KnatterKarl]

STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM.

[Myrclclin]

NOBODY BREAKS THE LAW ON MY WATCH!

[Randysteele1992]

fuck you people who bitch about people downloading games illegally!! FUCK YOU!! Games are to fucking expensive for me to begoing out and buying everygame i wanna play! I might not even like it and what then!? Even renting ti would be too expensive!! Hahah Ive pirated about 50 wii and gc games and a bunch of vc and wiiware titles! HAHAHA!!!

[Maus5000]

if you dont like the game or get done with it simply sell it for more money that its worth to some kid, or put it up on ebay.

[Dromagaaz]

Get a job.

[Randysteele1992]

Fuckin wetback

[erikthecoolkid]

im so glad i was born in 89 and didnt start my teens till 2002,i couldnt imagine how uncool life would had been from 1990-94

[superdbzwowie]

the 90's were the bomb and wickity wickity wack son!

[JoeUk123]

9 minutes? really?

[HalfBreedChaos]

O_o This feels sorta like a nightmare I had once. (the music and flashy colors and random people where there should be computers mostly)

[SnowKid32]

This is boring. BRB gotta go to thepiratebay. XD

[gmodesike]

don't copy, like apple and microsoft did to xerox. copy copy copy folks! it's the way to go!

[aspasticninja]

fine then, i will put my files on some other sort of media, perhaps a 4 Gig Flash Drive

[camul3]

jesus

[lordsmokeadoob420]

hes like its time to teach you a little respect, sit on my lap baby while i play space invaders.

[holz93]

'the sound people will do.... sound.'

that guy really knows his stuff (Y)

[RaianTheFallen]

LOL WUT

Remember kids. Don't copy that outdated floppy.

[RelatedToGames]

lol wtf

[tomhoneyfield]

It's funny how piracy has only got more sophisticated and worse since 1992, and yet there are more consoles, more games and more formats companies and jobs in the computer world than there has ever been before

[Demock]

kid's balls need to drop, his voice is higher than hers, p.s. LMAO

[FutureWDI]

DONT COPY DAT FLOPPY

[kore464]

Man, that exact same thing happened to me just recently! Except I was trying to burn a CD. Some guy started singing when I was about to click the "Burn" button Creepy.....

8:13: "HEY! you can buy your own game with a manual!" That's some serious motivation right there. Might as well have said: "Hey! You can buy your own game with pretty pictures on the box!"

[MakoSucks]

THIS IS WHY WE ARE IN A RECESSION.
