Well some of you from the UK may know the anti-piracy advert, 'Knock off Nigel'. Here it is for those who haven't seen it yet / recently.

Well anyway, I just stumbled upon this, which I thought was brilliant and worth sharing with the EVE community. Tell me what you think of it


I personally think this was the best bit "My step dad [has] bought knock off DVDs and he would never rob his own gran, shes dead."

Why buy them when they're available for free on torrent networks anyways. Laughing

Another stupid ad. The only funny one I liked very much was the parody of the anti-piracy movie in IT Crowd. Linkage

I was trying to get that from youtube to do some malicious editingTwisted Evil

It makes me laugh that the youtube video downloader is a shareware program. OK, so now the software to pirate the videos from youtube is a commercial programRolling Eyes What next, a commercial account hacking program? Laughing

I find the Knock off Nigel ads quite annoying, but that second link is just such a funny vid hes so true in what he says and takes it so seriously. This is the only anti-piracy vid which is any good imo.

What's been annoying me recently is that I've had my legal DVD and cinema viewings interrupted with these ads.

Erm, hang on a second, I'm watching a PAID FOR DVD and you've made it so I can't skip it, or I've PAID to go into the cinema and I can't skip it!

... but the pirates will just chop that bit out, so the pirates are actually making the end result BETTER for the viewer.

Foot, meet bullet.

That's basically how all DRM/Anti-Piracy stuff works, punish those who pay for it with stuff that doesn't work, detracts from the experience, or has a limited number of uses while the pirates chop all that **** out and enjoy the stuff they downloaded. Trouble is, big business can't see that. They seem to think that if they annoy their honest paying customers enough piracy will decrease...

Maybe Knock it off Nigel will be a bit more realistic.

I just had to be done. Sorry about the small size, that's Adobe Premier's doing.

Timing isn't too bad, especially at the end as he scruffs the guys hair Wink
