Digital Piracy Is Evil	comment	If you're watching television, it doesn't matter if the characters are drug-smuggling, whore-mongering, granny-beating, world-destroying murderers: the illegal downloading of movies and music is guaranteed to morally offend them. Any good character who doesn't fall in with this philosophy will learn their lesson by the end of the episode. Expect physical theft to be used as a comparison and/or a plot point. When you start a commercially released VHS tape, DVD, or Blu-ray Disc, they usually open with verbose, unskippable screens from the FBI or Interpol warning the viewer massive fines and time in jail can happen as a result of piracy. Many DVDs also include a PSA in the beginning about how piracy is wrong. In the most extreme cases, this segment can't be skipped... sometimes the disc can't even be stopped while it's playing. Ironically, the person who's logically most likely to see it is someone who legally paid to own a copy, because those who end up distributing these downloads like to edit them out. In Europe this can lead to three almost identical warnings in German (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), two in Dutch (The Netherlands and Belgium) at least three in French (France and Belgium and Switzerland again), two in Italian (Italy and, you guessed it, Switzerland), two in English (the UK and Ireland), a number of very similar Slavic languages as well as a number of similar warnings in the Nordic countries. The unintended side effect of browbeating legitimate paying customers while pirates don't see these warnings anyway has also led to subversions where DVDs will thank the viewer for paying for the movie. Keep Circulating the Tapes and Abandonware are related concepts. However, in regards to this trope, they are usually ignored. This is because companies that are the victims of such types of piracy often give subtle glances that they don't particularly care, may even actively encourage it, or have ceased to exist and so left the material in limbo, and tends to be virtually unsellable anyway, since it is often obsolete systems and formats that were commercially viable in the day but are now barely supportable now. Information Wants to Be Free, on the other hand, will usually pose a clear danger and demand swift action. Not that it will help much. Not to mention, people typically don't complain about Keep Circulating the Tapes and Abandonware anyways, since it's not hurting any business if the market's non-existent in the first place. See also New Media Are Evil, Even Evil Has Standards, Felony Misdemeanor, Copy Protection. See Digital Distribution for a form of media which can be tarred with the same brush. For the common catalyst on both sides of the argument, see DRM. Similar arguments are occasionally made against Fan Fic by authors, complete with the analogy to stealing cars. Also, see Internet Counterattack for one example of what happens when the pirates throw tantrums, as well as Flame War for what happens when pirates and anti-pirates collide online. This has resulted in a major shift in the way music artists actually make a living. The paradigm used to be you made money from selling albums and tours were to promote your new album so people would buy it. Nowadays the inverse is true—you make money from touring, and releasing an album is a way to encourage people to come to your shows. Just compare the relative costs of albums and tour tickets since popular music began. It should be noted that there are degrees to this. Most artists are okay with free distribution of live tapes or other material that isn't going to be officially released. Some artists are okay with free distribution of material that isn't out yet but will be in the future. Very few artists are okay with for-profit distribution of their officially released material. For the opposite trope, see Digital Piracy Is Okay. This is far from being a Discredited Trope or a Dead Horse Trope. It's more of a Cyclic Trope given how public opinion swings on the issue of copyright protection at any given time. Given you can now download a car... For the other kind of present-day pirates, who are generally agreed to be pretty evil, you want Ruthless Modern Pirates. noreallife

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_10b03dcf	comment	In the pirated version of Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman's glider cape will stop working after a set point, making the game unwinnable. This yielded an epic moment where one pirate asked on Rocksteady's forums how to fix the "bug" and was told "It's not a bug in the game's code, it's a bug in your moral code." This ultimately backfired when the buggy behavior starting cropping up in legitimate copies.

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time treats this trope as seriously as they do everything else. Finn and Jake are in the habit of hosting movie nights for their friends, but when the FBI warning about unauthorized public performance is pointed out to them, they react in horror and refuse to show any more movies, because they can't get permission and heroes don't break the law. The main reason they can't get permission in the first place is that they just so happen to live on a post-apocalyptic Earth, several thousand years after the civilization that made those movies (and the FBI warnings) was destroyed, and they've been finding the tapes in the rubble of old cities.

Said character immediately jumps off the slippery slope by revealing he only pirates games so he can seduce little boys. The moral? Either "People who pirate software are pedophiles" or perhaps "if you pirate software, a 30-year old man will try to rape you."

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_160c1407	comment	Metallica — more specifically, drummer/co-founder Lars Ulrich — became notorious in the early 2000's for their hardline stance against peer-to-peer downloading, to the point of (technically successfully) suing Napster. Ulrich and the band have chilled out on digital media significantly in the following decades (from releasing music on streaming platforms and giving free digital copies to concert attendees) but the sheer unpopularity of their crusade led to even more of their songs becoming downloaded, not to mention many potshots throughout pop media.

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Not exactly digital piracy in the sense of downloading movies/music, but when Homer got stolen cable (cable, now, being digital for many North Americans, though arguably not at the time), this trope is played remarkably straight. Even the guy who hooks up the cable is later shown to be stealing car stereos and breaking into houses. Homer, who's shown to have stolen from Moe's and work and is an unabashed alcoholic and Jerkass, comes to view this (although only after Lisa and Marge guilt-tripped him to the point he gave in) as a kind of evil even he can't support. In "Funeral for a Fiend", commercial skipping is treated as something akin to piracy... somewhat... It all starts with Homer going out to buy a battery, but he gets it for free because he used the choice of buying a $200 TiVo with subscription. After installing it, the Simpsons, especially Marge, start getting used to skipping commercials. But then Marge falls asleep and has a nightmare with Keith Olbermann warning against such a terrible action, so she starts watching all commercials. It is then that her woke-up family meet her in the living room and a new restaurant ad appears; they like it, so they happily go to the restaurant opening. When they arrive there, they discover an empty room and the restaurant owner ties them up in chairs. They had fallen into Sideshow Bob's newest murder plot. So, Digital Piracy Is Okay and you shouldn't watch TV commercials so you don't end up killed? In "Steal This Episode", Homer sets up a movie theater showing pirated movies in his backyard, but Marge rats out the operation to the FBI. After hiding in the Swedish consulate, because they have a lax notion of copyright, he gets arrested and put on trial by a large group of Hollywood stars and producers. However, after it's pointed out that it's a David vs Goliath type of situation, they let Homer off, and even make a movie out of the whole story. Homer then moves on to criticizing people for pirating the movie (even though it's a story of how piracy is cool), and in the end, Lisa concludes that while both sides call themselves noble, both are just greedy. In that same episode, as Homer is hauled off to jail along with a busload of convicted felons, he tells them what he's in for. Every single one of them is utterly disgusted by Homer's piracy.

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_2aa450a8	comment	Geoff Thew from Mother's Basement avidly believes this. In his video "There's NO GOOD REASON to Pirate Legally Available Anime" he goes on about not just the moral aspects, but also counters the reasoning of those who say that Digital Piracy Is Okay. In the end, he points out the importance of the economic aspects: if we don't buy the product, the industry won't be able to sustain its supply. On the other hand, his zealous stance and unwillingness to platform the arguments he tries to rebut got him into a bit of controversy when he was called out by fellow anime Youtuber Uniquenameosaurus, who made two videos arguing in favor of pirating anime on the grounds of questionable industry practices and inadequate consumer options. As of May 2020, Geoff's video has about equal likes and dislikes.

Justified in that Daisy is being conned out of her legitimately-owned royalty earnings.

Boss uses the opportunity to confer with record pirates to record the concert and sell records on the black market, pining the fault on the Dukes.

Greystone Industries had huge problems with digital piracy and people finding all sorts of loopholes to get free access, which they tried to stop to no avail. While on a talk show with his wife, Daniel has an epiphany, and declares that the basic service will now be completely free. When his board tries to vote him out, he explains his reasoning: They were already losing. By fighting the inevitable, they only painted themselves as the bad guys. By making it free, they generated massive amounts of good will. The board votes in favor of keeping him as CEO.

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_43dc6ac0	comment	Game Dev Tycoon turns the tables on people who play pirated copies of the game by having your in-game customers pirate the games you make in the game, eventually making the game Unwinnable by Design. The proper game has a (one-off) piracy event where you can do nothing about it or try to sue. A later update introduced "Pirate Mode", where the player's games are pirated on a regular basis, but the player can implement Copy Protection in order to slow them down.

Not only were downloaders not "sticking it to the man" by downloading their material, but they actually had the potential to jeopardize their standing with the label if downloading sufficiently weakened their sales to the point that they had reason to believe that they were becoming old news, which could mean anything from reduced support to being dropped altogether. Trevor also went on to state that yes, they did make enough to live comfortably, but that they were nowhere near rich and still needed to work their asses off for that money.

To sum it up, instead of erasing your save file, the game resets it back to the beginning. You can see it here.

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_87e00d8e	comment	Teen Titans (2003) had an episode where Beast Boy illegally downloaded a game and it gave Cyborg a virus since he did it on Cyborg's power charger which he mistook for a computer. It had Cyborg seeing food-based hallucinations. It was one of the more realistic examples (aside from the question of how a power charger could play a game and store a virus in the first place, much less transfer that data to Cyborg rather than just charge his batteries). He downloaded a supposed prerelease of a very popular and anticipated game. Those sorts of things would be prime targets for viruses. Then again, what do you use nowadays to charge your cellphone?

In "...Or Die Trying", after Granddad forced Jazmine to accompany him and the boys while they sneak into the movies, an ad that played before the movie compared digital piracy (and "stealing movies") to murder and featured a movie stuntman who said that it hurts when someone "steals all that work". Jazmine started crying, said "I'm sorry, Mr. Stuntman," and wanted to turn herself in to her father, the assistant district attorney. The actual episode ends with Huey saying they should have just downloaded the movie off the Internet instead of sneaking into the theater.

Cheating others and forging IOUs (both forms of stealing) is level two of Hell whereas piracy (another form of stealing) is level five. And, to add salt to the wound, he's punished by the artists he bootlegged in the first place: Beastie Boys. "A Clone of My Own" features the opening subtitle "Coming Soon to an Illegal DVD". In "I Dated a Robot", those who facilitate illegal downloads will also unleash killer Lucy Liu-bots to protect their sinister racket. In this case what's being downloaded illegally is personality imprints painfully derived from heads-in-jars being held prisoner for the purpose. Slightly different from a normal recording. Downloaded from Kidnappster.com! Spoofed with the Downloading Often Is Terrible extra on the Bender's Game DVD, which parodies that "You wouldn't do crime X" ad by having Bender reply that he has done those things.

Three crackers find ways to circumvent weaponry DRM, and have the bright idea of publishing them. Guess what happens when the crazy alien with a stolen nanogun finds them? She takes great pains not to hurt them? Since they were cracking down on the crackers before the events of Iji, where the crazy alien with the stolen nanogun wasn't an issue so much. Furthermore, KIWI's prices for the cracked weapons were ridiculous; in one example, it'd be some 32 times cheaper to buy the two weapons needed as components and crack them than buying it from KIWI.

The episode was mostly about illegal street racing, that Sari and Bumblebee would watch on bootleg cable, a subplot that felt like an afterthought compared to the rest of the episode. Once the street racing was dealt with, Bumblebee decided to cut their cable to "set an example" for Sari. Okay, not only did the whole piracy issue feel tacked onto the otherwise perfectly-fine street racing plot, but how did the Transformers have such a full grasp of the concept of piracy at a time when they were still getting a feel for Earth customs?

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_bd1b79c6	comment	Sarah Z shoots this trope to hell in The Weird World of Theatre Bootlegs regarding bootleg videos of Broadway shows. She raises the points that a) most shows are expensive to go to and someone who watches bootleg is doing so because they're unlikely to ever afford to see the show (due to ticket prices or being unable to travel for it), b) a pirated theatre show is very different from a pirated film, as the experience of theatre is largely dependent on being physically in the building (and a person who enjoys a bootleg version of a show might still be likely to pay to see it in the flesh if they get the chance), and c) sometimes a bootleg version of a show can be beneficial; the Heathers musical did poorly in its first run, but it developed a large fandom thanks to people watching bootleg videos of the show - and this led to a West End revival where it was much more successful.

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_df9304a8	comment	It has gotten to the point where Nintendo purposely refuses to launch their services and Android games in countries that has black marks for piracy, for example, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp - a freemium Android game of all things. When asked why the game wasn't launched in Malaysia among many others, for example, Nintendo got their spokesperson to go on a long tirade about how the country's home to piracy and unauthorized modding and gloating that they will launch the game in those countries when the people stop piratingnote While it is undeniable that piracy exists in the country, it's mostly confined to the older generation with their nationalist anti-western, anti-Japanese attitude who feel it fair to give The Man the finger for treating them like slaves during the British colonial and Japanese rule, and this generation are dying out. In the meantime, the younger generation who're much more well educated go all out to buy original, which is clearly reflected in many polls and researches held in the country. Naturally, the true fans of the franchise who has never ever illegally downloaded the games are very angry, especially since piracy is also happening in other countries that the game is launched innote Very notably in Italy where music from the game were stolen wholesale and put into kiddie rides, and the Americas where all the "unauthorized modding" (ie cracks to get unlimited leaf ticket) originates. It's also hurting the sales of their hardware in the countries that were accused of piracy and thus denied of their services.

The game also features a "save file erasure" thing similar to EarthBound (1994), although in a more subtle manner: instead of just taking you back to an empty "select your save file" screen, it stops the boss battle against the Sorceress and then a travel-between-worlds Saving-Loading Screen appears, and after it, you return back to the Sunrise Spring Home with your hot air balloon, with the only difference that your save file has been written with a new status - namely, a fat zero over everything you can collect. To sum it up, instead of erasing your save file, the game resets it back to the beginning. You can see it here.

Digital Piracy Is Evil / int_f4e799ee	comment	When stealing files from a villain in Burn Notice Michael Weston's scene narration explains the easiest way to get files out of a guarded building is to put them on the Internet via a free file host. The downside being the files would be accessible to anyone online, but most of them don't care as they're only on it looking for the latest music CD making this a pretty safe way to go about it. It's hard to tell if this is for or against file sharing, but given how many other blatantly illegal things Michael does... It's perfectly confidential to use a public host if you use strong encryption and give the files a cryptic, or better yet, misleading filename. To the Average Joe it will look like they are corrupted or fakes (common with just released movies and games, made by the studios and Internet trolls to annoy the would-be pirates). Let's just say if your mom gets honored at a police reception for reporting all the cars you stole, the "you wouldn't steal a car" analogy is going to fall a bit flat.

Then the "Satellite S.W.A.T." arrive to arrest Dexter's Dad. Not as much of an overreaction as it is an escalation, when you consider that Dexter kept overpowering their attempts to block the pirated signal, thus requiring them to take more drastic action. It also didn't help that even when it is explained to Dad that he has to pay them for the satellite TV or he can't have it, he refuses to pay, believing cable to be a right instead of a privilege and attacks them, leading to him fighting them and landing him in jail.
