    Anti-Piracy ad Makes you Want to Pirate

    Don't Copy That 2, is the newest ad coming out of the anti-piracy industry

    So remember kids, Don't Copy That or power Ranger styled rappers will come and send the SWAT team to pick on your mom and send you to jail. Great way to advertise anti-piracy views!

    Outdated, kinda offensive, and embarrassingly unhip, the clip has a zero percent chance of achieving its goal of deterring illegal downloads on campus. One young person I shared it with said the video made him want to go pirate something, anything, out of spite.

    What's funny is some of the material in the video was. I mean Klingon's? I also love that the character is burning CD's. Wouldn't it be more relevant to show him use some sort of P2P software or something of that nature?
