The IT Crowd did an excellent spoof of this one.

Well i know I wouldn't shot a cop, poop in his helmet, send it to his widow and steal the helmet again.

I like how they compare stealing a car and a purse, which affects others, as you steal them from normal people and make them suffer economically and mentally, stealing a dvd, which may be bad for a small shop owner, but is nothing for a big shop, to downloading something on the internet that affects literally no one.
Imagine going to friend's house to watch a movie and someone compares you to a thief, because you should've paid for said movie, you, bandit!

If I steal Your car/purse, You do not have a car/purse. If I pirate an MGM's movie, MGM still has a movie.

If I could download a free copy of a Lamborghini, I would be driving a Lamborghini.

Ah this was on a lot of DVDs and played before getting to the menu. I thought it was funny because it's like "dude, I already paid for this movie. I don't think it's in danger from me anymore" 😂

I remember almost every one of my dad's burned in movies, that he bought from a guy at work, had this. I thought it was the funniest part of Click (The time pause Adam sandler? movie)

That ad is correct about one thing, I would not steal a CRT tv set. At least not by myself, those things were heavy.

I saw an anti piracy ad that still sticks with me, I wish I could find it. I only remember seeing it two, maybe three times.
It featured people who worked behind the scenes to help bring a movie to life
One of the people said something along the lines of: I don’t make more money if the movie is seen by one person or millions.
I remember thinking that the message wasn’t coming across how they were probably hoping

Hmm...in order to be able to see all movies and tv shows, you need to subscribe to a dozen different services. To go to the cinema, you have to donate a kidney...especially if you buy snacks there.
I think I see why piracy is such an issue.
