Takes me back to those terrible 90’s UK VHS anti-piracy adverts 😃
Oh god, I’m having flashbacks to that terrible guitar sound! I swear, then and now, that piracy warnings are designed to punish you for buying the genuine article 😉
Those anti-piracy adverts likely drove more people to pirated copies than anything else - just so they wouldn’t have to stomach the cringe-filled ‘FACT’ adverts (and 20 mins of bad adverts for others films and tv) 😉

Maybe they should have read something like…
‘We’ll let the UK Govt do the funding of terrorism thank you very much through £billion arms deals to countries known to fund terrorism - not you plebs with your £3 dodgy copy of Rambo 2 from Bob down the market. Now carry on buying this vastly overpriced format so we can link ‘Bob down the market’ to genuine terrorists and we get to keep making shite adverts and very cushty jobs working for FACT. Thanks. Here’s some awful guitar sounds from Dave in IT (he also does weddings)…’
