Don’t Copy That Floppy

A 1992 rap video about copy protection. If these kids used Open Source software, they would not have this problem. Warning this song will get stuck in your head.


Thanks to ubuntu-geek on the Ubuntu Forum for pointing it out to me

    I love how at the end you can copy this video!

    But yeah, if these kids used FLOSS, they’d be fine :) .

    Good stuff – though I do like youtube linking to the IT crowd’s version of an anti-piracy ad… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTbX1aMajow

    that is some pretty skilled copy protection (the video pops up by reading that kids mind)
