Lmao @ haylo

Thank you for saying everything I wanted to say exactly how I wanted to say it. And although I have nothing substantive to say, this video is absolutely amazing. My friends don’t seem to think so.

munkybutt – WTF are you serious? Look up Carmen Sandiego.

Wikipedia says ’92, but who can trust that shit? Just open your fucking eyes. The hair, clothing, colors/style worn by the rapper and music all smack of ’92. As for the argument that the style of music used was O U T at the time, no fucking shit it was, but that has nothing to do with it! It’s just like all the stupid ass PSA’s and don’t do this-or-that videos you ever saw growing up — trying to be cool by injecting something ‘hip’, but failing miserably for being a few years behind the curve.

Whoever said this was made in 2005 is plain retarded. Also, the RIAA has nothing to do with software. Keep your fucking mouth shut unless you have something substantive to say.

[quote comment="1780"]There’s a mention about Carmen Sandiego … (maybe referring to Ms. Santiago , the woman with kids who was sued by the MPAA some month’s back … she’s decided to take them on in court). Goes to show that this ad was probably created quite recently …. maybe late 2005. Alto’ it sucks in terms of using flopies instead of CDs or DVDs. All one can probably copy on a floppy in this day and age is simple text documents and virus/trojan/spam programs.[/quote]

I’d imagine the Carmen Sandiego line is a reference to the game franchise “Where in [xxx] is Carmen Sandiego”, developed by BrÃ¸derbund from 1985 to the mid 90s (see link below). I’d guess this is probably an authentic video from the time – it’s certainly lame enough. ;)

The message is clear, Don’t copy that floppy…. Or the riaa will acuse you of being a serial pirater and try you for thousands.
Once more. If you download pirated material, the riaa will consider you a terrorist!

@ernest
the rap is too cool to be 82???
you better put it this way: this song DOES sound like ’82. in ’92 no rapper ever produced oldschool songs like this, as this type of rap music was O U T at that time. so i feel sorry for those people that probably no one ever was interested in their message, which is shitty anyway. the computer age has not ended yet; some motherfu****s even became monopolists although they had like 14 floppies to be copied.
the music industry which has been ripping off people especially after the introduction of the cd is making more and more money and gaining more and more power and probably making more money from the prosecution of so-called copyright infringements than from selling the crap that they produce. the same holds true for the film industry.
shit, let me record some stupid songs and distribute them over some sponsored honeypot servers and sue the shit outta some people like the german gvu did (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/68760). cool. let’s get rich!
