not the desired result, I'm sure

FACT, the Federation Against Copyright Theft, have produced a short (90 sec?) piece that gets shown at theatres here and has started appearing on my rented DVDs as well; lots of edgy camerawork and what not depicting physical theft with the captions (in an equally edgy font) "You wouldn't steal a handbag", "You wouldn't steal a car", "You wouldn't steal a movie". Which then cuts back to some girl sitting in her room with a download bar running, more captions about how movie piracy is theft, then she hits the cancel button and leaves the room.

The thing is, it's also got some really edgy music. Some damned good edgy music. Ideally, someone would rip this music and distribute it on the intarweb. And, you know, do all that edgy "mashup" stuff that's hip with the cool kids nowadays.

They're right, though; I wouldn't steal any of the hackneyed tripe they're trying to pass off as movies lately.

They should make a movie that I would want to steal.
