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.

I have a boxed arcade stick for SNES and Genesis that has the exact same design as one of the backgrounds used behind the horrible rapper.
When I first saw it I knew I was staring in a vortex of space/time back to 1992.

It is an inviolable law that anytime someone or something tries to be cool they or it will fail, and miserably so.
