I should make an asm program to do that, it was funny as hell.
ive copied a number of proggys from the school pc's, it would be funny if that video popped up every time somebody tried to copy an exe file
perhaps it will become a service one day

HAHAHA I wonder how long he had to spend in a witness protection like program so that people wouldnt shoot him for being annoying. That was funny, but they shouldve known to ctrl alt delete him.

I wonder how many people this actually convinced not to copy floppys.
"Read the copyright law,etc" thats a little to much maybe...

Wow, that guy must have needed money, bad. Maybe he was addicted to crack at the time. My favorite part was when he was flying in the big cyan plane, CGA style. Wow...

It was like a high school STD video. The rapper comes out, sings about some ugly crap, then the boring white people come on and tell you how incredibly important they are, and how interesting the things they do are.

Uber nerd Programming Director was the coolest. Maybe one day he'll be my boss and I'll kill him for being a geek. I won't go to jail though, because killing a nerd isn't exactly a crime, unless you use a wizard's wand or a +3 mace to do it.

I'd do the attorney, though. Even though she looks like she has perma-botox.

There's no way to make a serious anti-piracy commercial that isn't comical (like those crew member ads before movies), so I think this was made cheezy on purpose. We all remember watching it, right?

I think that if companies actually rigged something like this up, it might freak people out enough... of course alot of those people just rip and host. don't know a thing about actually hacking the program They just get that from someone else with different intentions (ie. No Cd Patch). Those that actually hack it themselves and release, wouldn't be fooled.
