don’t copy that floppy!
For the record yes I would steal a car if the owners car didn’t disappear
You mean make a copy of the car then.
Man I feel old. It was a reference to this anti-piracy ad:
I, for one, would download the shit outta a car.
I had a dream once that I could download a sandwich. I kept downloading different delicious sandwiches on Limewire until one of them gave me a virus.
That being said I would still definitely download a sandwich.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
I play Assetto Corsa. I have downloaded 300GB worth of cars, and I’ll do it again.
Then I’ll steal a policeman’s helmet and take a shit in it.
I’m not very well versed in Star Trek lore, but didn’t humanity basically become peaceful by inventing the replicator, which can exactly do this?
Now imagine being against this development.
I also don’t know Star Trek lore but it is basically the answer used in The Orville (“matter synthesis”), which I do know is a love letter to Star Trek in general
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.
Their attempts to pretend software copying is anything serious was as hilarious in '93 as it is today.
Lmao the notion that you would pay so much more for the fine than the software is worth.
“It’s a real bargain when you consider what some people pay” is a great slogan for asteroid insurance
That makes me want to pirate, jesus thats a huge price for a flippin floppy disk.
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.
I still use floppies. They may be gone, but people still use them.
And I thought I was a holdout, didn’t remove the floppy drives from my home built desktop computers until like 2005.
Government still uses them in sensitive situations “for security” (and not having to beg for funding only to risk the upgrade failing and taking down some secret, billion-dollar operation) too.
“When you use illegally copied software, you’re committing…DOS and Macintosh”
Don’t dead, open inside-type vibes
I would fucking too download a car if I could get the godsdamned thing to work.
Policemen stopped wearing helmets around here decades ago. But I’d shit in one anyways
swapped the floppies…???
YOU WOULDN’T COPY A FLOPPY
Copy anyways and then downloads car
Downloads a fruit cup while at it
YES I WOULD
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?
“Buy my $80 course to learn how you can waste even more money!”
Meanwhile inside Microsoft: I’ll just copy this Xerox GUI aannndddd … Windows!
Lol, good ol’ Gates Innovation™
Ahh always nice to revisit my first dose of propaganda.
I would have downloaded a car if I could have.
