We had an ad that actually said "piracy funds terrorism" here in the UK. Made me laugh my arse off.

This is a return to office movement all over again hahaha

I'm curious now, what was the justification for that claim?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

There was none. The full quote from the ad is "Piracy funds terrorism, and will destroy our development and your future enjoyment". Whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean. Which terrorists are we funding?

Either way, those anti-piracy ads are stupidly hilarious.

Buying pirated DVDs is one example I assume?
