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.
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.
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
Downloads a fruit cup while at it
YES I WOULD
That makes me want to pirate, jesus thats a huge price for a flippin floppy disk.
swapped the floppies...???
"When you use illegally copied software, you're committing...DOS and Macintosh"
Don't dead, open inside-type vibes
"Buy my $80 course to learn how you can waste even more money!"
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
Their attempts to pretend software copying is anything serious was as hilarious in '93 as it is today.
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
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.
no carmen sandiego no oregon trail
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?
man its real interesting to see vintage stuff like this
