    Unconvincing to whom? That campaign did an amazing job of equating copyright to property ownership for an entire generation.

    It’s not accurate, but I think we’ve seen that it can be very convincing for most people.

      I wouldn’t recommend trying to trick people into caring about their privacy: it’s not good for your reputation or your long-term relationship with them.

        I would recommend it. People need to be manipulated into doing the right thing.

            It does.

            Edit: If I would manipulate the German people into not electing Hitler that would make me akin to Mengele?

      Which generation is that? I’ll be honest, I’ve yet to talk to someone who really gives a crap about where the content they’re consuming is coming from. Hell, most people I’ve dealt with don’t give a crap about content being pirated whenever it happens to be the more convenient option.
