Anti-DVD Piracy Campaign

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

The mayor of New York, Mike Bloomburg, has announced his movement to stop movie piracy by releasing a series of PSA’s which talk about the crime and its effects. He also has made videotaping in a theatre a misdemeanor, instead of just a violation. I don’t want to go too in-depth about the article because then you wouldn’t read it for yourself, but at the end they start to talk about some of the ideas.

And then here is an example of an anti-piracy PSA (although it is not one from the article, or even from New York)
