Don't Copy That Floppy - Sequel

Sequel

In May 2009, the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) released the trailer for a follow-up to the 1992 “Don’t Copy That Floppy” anti-piracy video. “Don’t Copy That 2” features M. E. Hart reprising his role as “MC Double Def DP”. The trailer shows armed SWAT police raiding homes and arresting the mothers of would-be pirates. The SIIA website says that “Antipiracy hero MC Double Def DP will return to drop some knowledge on would-be pirates in the sequel to 1992’s ‘Don’t Copy That Floppy.' The video premiered on September 9, 2009. Since its release it has been criticized in many circles for being out of date, referencing material like the Doom series and Klingons that the target audience (mostly teenagers) may not be familiar with, and also for misrepresenting the way copyright law is enforced. "Don't Copy That 2" has received over 425,000 views on YouTube as of May 10, 2012.

    Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.
