"You wouldn't download a car" Fuck yes, I would...


meaux253

Of course I would download a fucking 93 skyline, are you batshit mad!?!?


defoma

Why wouldn't I download a car.


vroom_gazers

Would you steal the Batmobile? Is that even a question???!


Kitchen-Beginning-47

With 3D printers, we can.


Majestic-Age7890

You'll never get through airport security with one though


El_human

The Mandela effect is strong with this one. The quote is actually "You wouldn't steal a car"


Future_Section5976

Your 100% correct ," you wouldn't steal a car " , "you wouldn't steal a purse" "steal a tv" , "piracy is stealing" who ever posted that YouTube link , it's the wrong video , it dosnt even show the girl downloading a video on a 90s computer, before getting up and grabbing her bag to go to school , like some spy kids bs

Striking_Book8277

None of these are the actual ad


Deimos_Aeternum

I'd download entire generations of cars


AlexDavid1605

If I could I would download a fucking bank. Yes I am broke...


UnknownReverence

Download more RAM.


ChesterDrawerz

I wouldn't down load a car made of simple fixable components. But witha all the touch screen broken on delivery tech in current cars that you need to pay a subscription for basic operation features, today theres zero way I'm buying any new car.


Private-Dick-Tective

At current price, I'd download a whole fleet and give them away to my friends.


that_1weed

With the power of 3-D printing now we can!


TBearForever

Yes I used to smuggle rum in the Caribbean on a galleon


PotentialSquirrel118

Arrrrr, matey!


Got_Bent

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel hanging from his belt. The bar tender says "Whats the steering wheel for?" The Pirate says "Arrrgh it be drivin' me nuts.". Ill show myself out...


mankee81

I'm stealing this!

Galdae

Raise streaming prices, piracy goes up. Lower streaming prices, piracy goes down. It's not a complicated math problem.


Illustrious-Falcon-8

You wouldn't download a bear!


Striking_Book8277

Apparently most women would so they can replace their man


Politics_Mods_R_Crim

I can download alcohol?! WHERE?!


PalicoBroski

Fun Fact: The reason they stopped putting this anti-piracy ad in movies is because, ironically, the creators of the ad pirated the music used for it & got sued.


Snoo-73243

you wouldn't download a car would you?


defoma

would


throwaway6969420200

I download them all the time (For beamNG.Drive)


El_human

*steal* The quote is "you wouldn't steal a car"


ososalsosal

It was an [IT Crowd skit](https://youtu.be/ALZZx1xmAzg?si=QyAcgrkYZN3wPCP5), though it went considerably further.


Snoo-73243

some get it some didn't props for the video


accountsupport69

I just barely, vaguely remember this, and even I can say it's steal, not download. The download comes from something else, I think


luci-lucid

"you wouldn't go to the toilet in a policeman's helmet."


jadedlonewolf89

His boots on the other hand are free game.


jmonty11b

The comment isn't really on topic, just remembered how Crysis 3 struggled with pirates, so thought I'd tell you about it In short, the player has the opportunity to go through the entire game, but specifically the final boss turns into not killable and behaves as inadequate as possible compared to the licensed game. I hope someone was interested xd


InVaLiD_EDM

Iirc, GTA4 made all the cars unusable by making them drive themselves and explode randomly


Igotthisnameguys

Game Dev Tycoon made the game extremely difficult on the pirated version. And you get an achievement for actually buying it.


Sammisuperficial

If I heard correctly the pirated version made you fail due to piracy taking all your profits. If true that is peak Dev trolling šŸ˜‚


WalkerMcAngus

Thatā€™s amazing šŸ¤£


f_bojangles

Damn, what is considered old these days?


[deleted]

And crime doesnā€™t pay And we go home poor at the end of the day But Iā€™d rather live my life in rags Than be taped to a desk with a wife as a hag We live each day like thereā€™s nothing to lose But a man has needs and the need is booze They say all the best things in life are free So give all your beer and your rum to me


Rabbulion

Yes. I am 19.


Straightmale2

Yes 18


overinterpret

Yes 17


Straightmale2

Your parents put DVDs on for you


Uranium-Sandwich657

Same. I have an excuse.


birraarl

I really hate all these ā€œare you this oldā€ memes because they usually just show something from my 30s.


Avallach98

The pirates were epic, though. They managed to build up a pretty successful republic.


Slow_Astronomer_3536

*Chuckles with memories of dual VCRs*


IAmOneWhoKnows

I can hear the music


H4ckrm4n

You mean the stolen music for the anti piracy ad? The people who made that ad only originally paid the person who made the music for licensing to use it in one film festival... then continued to use it, showing up in basically every movie for 3 years


LupusWhiteWolf

And the best part about that advertisement against piracy is that the song used was in fact pirated itself


ChesterDrawerz

$75 for YouTube TV? Netflix and prime advertising? Just means it's time to pirate again. Stop fooking gouging US and you won't get pirated.


usingreddithurtsme

Yeah, but is anybody old enough to remember [this older, much more terrifying piracy ad?](https://youtu.be/EnLVyNB52R8?si=6lLU0b3wU-p09UmE)?


mankee81

Heh, we didn't have a big bootleg video market where I grew up, but when I saw an illegitimate copy of Shoalin Vs Wu Tang on VHS at 15, I scooped that up with the quickness (due to the rap group... it was like Christmas morning over and over hearing/seeing all the samples from the albums)


yestureday

I donā€™t think piracy STOPPED being a crime So, yes.


Educational_Ideal387

yes.


itslels

Do you even got to be 30 to remember this?


ososalsosal

My old job was DVD authoring. I was extremely competent, but one mistake I somehow always made was "accidentally" making these things skippable. Somehow the checks and balances never caught these mistakes before thousands of discs were already pressed and the clients figured just accept it.


Pastry_d_pounder

Dont forget EPIC MOVIE TRAILER VOICE GUY before the movie begins and the obligatory FBI cue card that prohibits anyone from distributing said movie


One_Ad5301

It's my religious right as a Kopimist

IntergalacticAlien8

I remember having a dvd of the robots movie (2005) and I got so much hype watching that ad. I liked it so much I started pirating!


RichieRocket

it aint a crime when the companies keep the game after i gave them more then a dime


defoma

I have one disc that has that before the actual movie, it might be LEGO movie?


Aelia6083

Most CDs from the 00s had it, as far as I remember


jfrey123

Shit, got me.


S1L3NCE_2008

In the theaters, right?


Wizards_Reddit

Kinda? I was alive when it was still being put on DVDs but too young to remember at the time but I did watch the DVDs when I was older than that too


ExistingBathroom9742

I can hear this image.


Kiln223

Sadly, I am that old. ![gif](giphy|7SF5scGB2AFrgsXP63|downsized)


Politics_Mods_R_Crim

OLDER


barnacle-boy11

Hollywood video type beat


Gobblemonke

Yep


TGG_ifyouknowyouknow

What do you mean old? It was not that time ago


Thulak

I remember something about this braking copyright by using an unlicensed music track in the ad. Not sure if it was true though.


H4ckrm4n

Kind of. It was a breech of contract and continued use outside of the scope of the original licensing. The track was originally going to be used for an ad that was only to be shown at a Dutch film festival... and then they kept using the ad without renegotiating with the artist for further use. They even made additional variants still using the same music


Impressive_Split_232

![gif](giphy|10X22vzgNamaiI)


throwaway6969420200

The irony of this is that the music they used was essentially stolen lmao


scrabawabalakachacka

Oh you kids...


Outcast_Outlaw

The funny thing was when you'd see this on the burnt copy


Safeword-is-banana

Oh man, Iā€™m still afraid of that sign..


Mugboidude

Weirdly enough, I saw these when I was 5-7 years old, constantly rewatching Toy Story 2 on my DVD. They were funny :)


AnonaMoose89

Yes


Sk8Bettty

:shakes fist at Metallica for ruining Napster: lol


SwaddledInAwesome

Yes


RAGINGBUCKET-4444

You wouldn't download a gender

trebtheg

I can hear the music. witch I heard was ironically stolen. But I Need to confirm if that was true. it just sounds too funny.


Ben_Pharten

Yes, I was 16-17-18ish during this shit.


MenjiBlueWolf001

*Sigh* YESSSSS


Singer_TwentyNine

Piracy is still a crime


Got_Bent

Im pre ICQ and My Space and Napster. Im more of the BBS kinda guy.

"You wouldn't steal from a store!" Usa 2024 would begg the differ,sir


LIL-MEX15

Shit gave me nightmares


spartane69

Yes, yes i am...


trascist_fig

How can we make stealing sound even cooler?


Free_Swimmer_1694

Yes


Crimsonmaddog44

I am now after seeing this again. Youā€™ve made me rethink many life decisions because of this ![gif](giphy|RfHEXGZHZxLhVG32pi|downsized)


Striking_Book8277

Last time I saw that I was pirating a movie while reading itšŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†


Illustrious_Rule_591

Ahh false advertising, I remember when they claimed cocaine was a cure for fatigue. Good times


El_human

I'm old enough to remember that everyone misquotes this as "You wouldn't download a car"


ObiGwenStefnobi

I watched a movie on Prime recently that still had the FBI warning at the beginning for whatever reason.


1Scythe12

You wouldn't steal a CD, copyright is a crime


CanOfWhoopus

Yup yup. Also the house hippo is in my memory.


DWYNZ

HELL YEAH BROTHER1!!1!!!


Longjumping_Bit1113

It is an unethical practice in capitalist society, however Iā€™d be a fool not to get free things from secured torrents.


[deleted]

It's a right. Fuck the entertainment industry.


GodlessGrapeCow

Pretty sure piracy is still a crime.


Aelia6083

So is revoking access after you bought and paid for a piece of media. Or it should be at least


jadedlonewolf89

False advertisement is a crime. I remember juicy juice getting bent over a barrel for it. Sales of the games, movies, and tv shows certainly didnā€™t have you not owning the content in a written document either. So Iā€™m sure thereā€™s a case for it if someoneā€™s willing to throw their time and money at the problem, while the game companies throw their money at stonewalling them.


Redfaller2003

You wouldnā€™t shoot a police officer And then steal his helmet


Coffeeman314

You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet


BookerPrime

Piracy has been a crime since the 1400s. And no, I wouldn't download a car.

Fuck, I wouldā€¦
