Yes, it’s time again for some more anti-piracy propaganda. This time, the most interesting yet, a new video from the SIIA (Formerly SPA) — Don’t Copy That 2. Produced as a sequel to the 1990′s “Don’t Copy That Floppy” (during the period in which floppy disk drives were still used, before being disbanded).

This sequel, however, equally stupid and laughable as the first, still uses the lyrics “Don’t Copy That Floppy” — failing to realise that the average consumer PC does not have a floppy disk drive any more — is another propaganda aimed at stopping youth from copying and distributing cracked or pirated software.

The film seems to not be also aware that the average teenager doesn’t sell or pirate software, only download already pirated software.

Here’s the video, embedded:

Thanks to Mashable for this interesting piece of news.

    I think this vid was more directed to people who sell these games on street corners or something.

  2. Marc Lequime says:

    Either way, it's still completely awful.

    Wow… what was going through their heads when they made this… they should just put the last few seconds in with the actual guy that did it…
