It's targeted at teenagers; you can bet that these little contrarian assholes will fire up a torrent client right after the first lesson. And what's more, they'll even educate them on malwares! Big win for piracy in Denmark 🤓
This just shows they can't win so they have to resort to brainwashing children.
But would you decapitate a policeman, steal his helmet, shit into it and send it to his widow? That's the real question.
I confess I have not considered doing that, I have only dabbled in online piracy.
That is a reminder of the christian morals engrained in our culture and thus education system
Brief reminder that most people on the planet aren't American
Brief reminder that most people on the planet aren’t American
So what? Catholicism and Protestantism is ingrained in big parts of europe
His use of "our culture" screams American. Sure other countries have SOME religious folk. USA is a warzone in 2023
The English speaking world shares many cultural similarities, namely Christianity
"Sharing" and being a solid 45% of voter base is totally different imo.
The USA is a theocracy. Christofascism
Most of the governments on Earth (including all Scandinavian countries) are puppet states dominated by the USA.
I definitely resolved to try LSD after a D.A.R.E. lecture in 5th grade
“In the real world, we learn to control desire, postpone needs, and resist temptation. This lesson also applies to the digital world. Stealing is wrong and punishable,”
"None of this, of course, need apply to the ruling class, who lives entirely to sprint ever faster on the hedonic treadmill, demand the planet burn faster for profit, and indulge every possible temptation no matter how cruel or inhuman."
By understanding the motivations of today’s youth, the anti-piracy group hopes to be in a better position to influence their behavior.
I pirate because I don't get paid the full value of my labor. Pay me more and I'll buy more goods and services. It's also more convenient to have everything in one place.
AND offer good stuff! AND make it actually convenient and worth the money. A single streaming service at $15 a month, no more, that has all the "exclusives", be it Stranger Things, The Mandalorian, or Rings of Power (okay, maybe not that last piece of garbage). Then I would consider paying, and only if it is truly more convenient and offers better quality with less buffering than pirate streaming. Until then, it's a pirate's life for me.
The streaming sites already sell my data anytime I click a button on their website, you don't get my money too.
That's awesome news. Teaching them about anti-piracy will lead them to piracy and make sure that piracy will remain for future generations.
You mean I can get all this stuff for free and all you can do to stop me is try to scare high schoolers?
”Are you a thief?”
Yes.I'm sure this shit would've gone over well with teenage me who downloaded all his games and music using P2P software.
Well, let's see... At my school, smoking was bad. I started smoking. My school taught us that drinking alcohol was very bad. I started drinking with my friends. We learned at school that the USSR was going to attack us with nukes at any moment. So I started doing an annoying impersonation of Boris and Natascha every time we had a "hide under your desk drill" that was quite entertaining. We were warned in social studies class about the dangers of using fireworks and cherry bombs. My friends and I were on the constant hunt of old cherry bombs. Ronald Reagan's administration started a physical fitness program that gave awards to kids that passed a certain test in gym glass. A lot of us didn't try hard on purpose because it looked silly and many of us, to our shock, still won the award because it was too easy. So, perhaps the schools are creating a whole new generation of super pirates. Some of those kids probably don't even know what pirating is. They'll find out now. And don't forget, boys and girls, ketchup is a vegetable. If ketchup is a vegetable, relish is, too. So make sure you eat up all your relish we give you at lunch time, with some ketchup on top.
So you mean there are all these movies, media, software that I can get for free, when I'm too broke to purchase it or subscribe to it and my parents wont buy it?
It's like DARE, only that the drugs are actually free this time.
McGruffy the Anti-Piracy Crime dog asks you a question, “You wouldn’t download a car, would you?”.
This will turn out just as well as the DARE program did, it will only inspire kids into researching more about pirating. As they say, there is no such thing as bad publicity.I'm sure this will about as effective as D. A. R. E. in American schools and keeping people off drugs
Are you a thief?
I think that when they define "thief" as someone who will watch a TV show on Dailymotion when there's no other way to get it, they're going to be surprised how many people (especially schoolkids) are willing to say "Yes, I'm a thief."
The record and movie industry must be paying out of their asses to have this shit taught in schools.
Let's teach our kids the importance of making billionaires richer and not actual important stuff like checking facts or making a well informed decision when voting.
Absolute dystopian bullshit.
If by "thief" you mean someone that copies information, then yes I am.
