MPAA's Anti Piracy Campaign "Corrected"

This is MPAA's anti piracy advetising that is shown on most DVDs these days. A kvcd Bittorrent release group edited it. They have good points there. The truth is that piracy never harmed anyone 'cept the ships, obviously. I like the song. Greets.

I woudn't steal a car...but if I could have an functionally identical copy of someone else's car...

@ATLMember You are making it hard to understand. Let's imagine Photoshop. How many actually bought it? If it wasn't available for download in the first place, almost nobody outside the professional/academic use would have bought it anyway.

Therefore, Adobe lost almost no money because normally professionals and students have to buy such software, and the other users would have never shelled out that kind of money.

All this comes down to is people who already have piles of money screwing honest people in order to make more piles of money.

How does ripping, copying or circumventing a copy protection hurt a film studios profits significantly if the content is not being redistributed?

It's not really a crime at all. It's a poorly written law that is used to screw people who don't seek to pirate anything.

The DMCA should be amended to say you can do whatever you want with a movie, but that redistributing it in any way should be treated like theft.

@tigerwhite007 Downloading movies you down own a legit copy of is stealing. How isn't it? You're taking something you didn't pay for. Ripping movies is still technically illegal if you circumvent copy protections in the process, but I don't think the MPAA really gives a shit if you're not redistributing or uploading the content to other places. The lesson to take away from this is - just buy a legit copy. Make a backup for yourself. Rip it to another format. Don't redistribute.

[tigerwhite007]

technically downloading/ripping etc. is not stealing!. Stealing is physically removing something from somewhere without the owners permission and not informing them that you have taken what belongs to them. Pirating is sharing, sharing helps people make logical and informed choices about what they spend their money on. If the movie isn't good it's not going to earn any money is it... people won't even bother pirating it lol. Some people make more money on youtube than they do on film WHAT THE

"you wouldn't steal a handbag"

"Don't fuckin' tell me what I would and wouldn't do! I am drunk at 2pm. In my underwear. Alone. About to watch girls get tortured to death by paying customers in an underground bunker. And you're telling me I wouldn't nick a fuckin' handbag!? You don't know me at all!"

Gotta love Ed Byrne :)

Imagine a world with piracy instead of thievery.

Your car is stolen - Its gone.

Your car is pirated - Its still there, but someone has made a copy of it.
