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.
“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

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?
YOU WOULDN’T COPY A FLOPPY
Copy anyways and then downloads car
YES I WOULD
