    I love the irony of Tetris being used to promote the sanctity of intellectual property (2:06).

    I can imagine this being used today.

    "Billy! What are you doing? Don't you remember what the video said?"

    "These are DVD's mom."

    It's no wonder piracy is such a problem.

    I think 9 out of every 10 Commodore 64 games that I own are a direct result of my older cousin's copying benefaction. Mille grazie, Brandon.

    This is as old as the hills, and so is discussion of it.

    It was sufficiently trendy that they even cooked up an official (and very bizarre) sequel to it two and a half years ago.
