Ok, Downloading shouldn't be illegal, its the pubisher's fault for not staying 2 steps ahead of copy breakers. Then you don't have to have lame Rap videos from a guy with a name abbreviated double penetration. Stop blaming the audience and arresting them, Hire the people that break the protection. Ever watch catch me if you can?

Yeah. You know what else? Rather than punishing theives, we should just force everyone to get better security systems. Because we all know how effective security systems are. After all, if you can't prevent me from taking it, then it rightfully belongs to me anyway.
The truth is, as a software developer, I enjoy getting a paycheck to pay bills with. And you can only go so far to protect your software from piracy. Even the most piracy-secured stuff finds its way onto uTorrent. Don't try to justify it by saying it's the developer's job. It is to a degree, but you have to throw out all common sense to say it should be legal.

It is the worst thing that I have seen man ! honestly .
It is super cheese slick ad and although it is a lame attempt at hipness. I have to admit the hook is catchy and the production value for the media is well done. If you think of it haven't they won in the sense that they have people talking about it. The Ad is so bad it's good !!

*****Breaking News*****Pirating has increased by 75% since the release of this video. I agree with Pete and everyone else who has commented, why did they have to use Rap. From the guy being named "DP", the mom who was hauled off by SWAT, the Klingons, and the "Devin's Dance Grooves" routine towards the end was uncalled for. They went overboard by having the kid at the end who got busted for pirating. He's the only guy I know or have heard of being busted for pirating. I guess he's 1 and a 1,000,000,0000. LOL!

This is clear evidence that the industry is outdated and out of touch - their feeble attempts at connecting with a young audience (and failing miserably) are clear evidence that they have absolutely no clue how people want to purchase music or software. They continue to resist digital downloads - and this they do to their detriment instead of embracing it and capitalising upon it.
In stark contrast, Apple have nailed it with their innovations within the digital download industry and know exactly what people want. The sooner that record companies and movie makers stop making it difficult for people to purchase media online and stop viewing digital downloads as a threat to their industry instead of a glorious opportunity that is to be embraced, the sooner they'll avoid extinction of their kind at their own hands.
Sadly, I suspect that the record and film industry will become the dodos of our generation - only to be survived by a much fitter, evolving industry that is Apple iTunes and the like. (Although that's probably not such a bad thing)

I think it's the best anti-copy ad that I've seen but it shows who runs these big companies - people who fail to understand the value of sharing or the importance of usability. I have before not bought music simply because of frustration with the registration process, why fill out a huge form and give all my payment details when I may only use the service to buy one song which I then have to import into iTunes or Media Player?

Jonathan

What (might) be interesting about his video is that it appears to be directed against those who would make copies for profit. Does this mean that the record companies feel that those who copy for their own convenience (perhaps about 99% of all those who use the Darknet) are beyond persuasion?

Congratulations you accepted the mission to down load and copy pirated materials. "By choosing to accept the mission via downloading" Your helping us rid the internet of pirated software, music, games & more, your such a good net-a-zen.
On to your mission, sit back --- relax--- shortly the illegal download on your hard drive automatically will self destruct all movie, game music files off your hard drive (because we haven't figured out how to delete just ours so we will delete all of them) in 5, 4, 3, 2 .......... Ka powwee
