MumboAttribute7322,

Something that can’t be stolen is not property. You can only copy a stream of bits not steal. You can also replicate it to infinity. A pound of gold is real property. You can definitely steal it and you can’t replicate it.

Maybe it’s like Diamonds. You can absolutely make diamonds in a lab without any bloodshed and people will be like “the blood is what makes it special”. Maybe the “original” bits make it special?

DubiousInterests,

Those are the worst excuses. “Don’t do that thing or we will ruin your life” like. That isn’t a reason not to do something, you are just monsters.

In my state we have signs that say “LITTER AND IT WILL HURT”.

I loath littering but those signs always make me chuckle.

RespectfullyNo,

“When you use illegally copied software, you’re committing…DOS and Macintosh”

Don’t dead, open inside-type vibes

And I just can’t get that rap song “Don’t copy that floppy” out of my head after seeing this xD

For those unfamiliar with this campaign - note the SPA logo with the "Don't copy that floppy" slogan in the middle of the page:

Back in the day when the only copyright protection was scare tactics. Anyway looks like an ad for a software product, not actually anti-piracy propaganda. Nostalgic none the less. There was a time when all software was obtained through floppies. I sure was glad to see those go, damn things failed more often than they worked. I kept a big box of blank ones and copied everything off three times in case the first two failed.

Lol that’s rather anti copyright laws if anything.
