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’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.
swapped the floppies…???
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.
YOU WOULDN’T COPY A FLOPPY
Copy anyways and then downloads car
YES I WOULD
“When you use illegally copied software, you’re committing…DOS and Macintosh”
Don’t dead, open inside-type vibes
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
“Buy my $80 course to learn how you can waste even more money!”

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?
