I dont know if anyone else on here has seen this advert. Some bloke in a pub singing to a dodgy looking berk who is supposed to do everything on the cheap finishing with the entire pub singing he's a knock off nigel and that knock off nigel buys knock off dvd's.

Is this really the best that the government was able to cobble together to prevent film piracy? They've managed to completely miss the fact that most people are simply downloaded the new releases from torrent sites and not paying any more than their ISP costs.

It?s about time that the film and music companies realised that if they didn?t charge so much for their product people wouldn?t want to buy rip-off copies.  cussing:

Wot's a fair price for a CD on your island then .... Is it like the rest of Europe? (IE Cheaper than in GB)

No... most of the shops openly sell copies for a couple of Pounds...

The real ones are actualy more expensive than the UK.  angry037

Catchy tune, I have a plan. 

I've just set WinTV a-recording and will scour through the adverts tomorrow morning.  I will find said advert and waz it through my video converter and burn a few dvd's, should be on e-bay in 24 hours.

All profits can be used to further upset the film making industry, my first mission being to remove Jim Carey's tongue...

That they do Snoopy. That they do.

A world where the common people can be relied upon to smile deferentially whilst having their income taxed and everything they purchase taxed too. Who can blame them for thinking a ridiculous advertisement would shame the sheep into parting with even more money to further bloat the coffers of the Hollywood Jewish set?

I see your powers of perception are as sharp as ever Berek.

They are always naff quality though, apparently the ones to go for are duplicates of the pre release review discs  whistle:
