Today, SIIA launched its new anti-piracy video - “Don’t Copy That 2”. The video is a sequel to the 1992 “Don’t Copy That Floppy”video, which was a huge success in schools throughout the country and eventually became a cult phenomenon on YouTube. You can view the video on the Don’t Copy That Website or search for it on YouTube. (You can also download a copy of the video in podcast form on iTunes. Just search for “Don’t Copy That Floppy 2”.)

The video is intended to be fun to watch while also conveying the message that pirating software and content carries stiff penalties and can ruin your life. We hope “Don’t Copy That 2” will prevent piracy by helping people make better choices when it comes to downloading or purchasing copyrighted works. The video even concludes with an appearance from convicted software pirate Jeremiah Mondello, who issues a warning about the consequences of software piracy from a federal prison in Oregon.

An extended and modified educational version of “Don’t Copy That 2”  will be released for distribution to classrooms early next year.
