The 1992 SIIA anti-piracy rap video Don't Copy That Floppy, warning kids against copying software, remastered and uploaded.

Referenced only as a nostalgic, cringeworthy joke in threads about floppies and piracy.

The UK is just doing it wrong. You've got to be cool with the message for the fellow kids, dog. ▶ this video (1992) ... and that's how the US solved digital piracy and never had to worry about it again.
