Anti Piracy Tapestries
Description: Before streaming, before playlists, before everything lived in the cloud… There were blank cassettes. And, the record industry was terrified of them. A vintage-inspired analog pirate artifact celebrating the glorious age of home taping, complete with an aged cassette, crossed-bones pro-piracy graphic, faded print, and the wonderfully passive-aggressive message: “HOME TAPING IS KILLING RECORD INDUSTRY PROFITS! WE LEFT THIS SIDE BLANK SO YOU CAN HELP.” A little piece of obsolete technology, a little music-history sarcasm, and a whole lot of Gen-X attitude. Press PLAY. Fuck the algorithm.
Description: Piracy, It's a Crime" is an anti-piracy campaign launched by the Motion Picture Association, which consisted of public service announcement videos played during the opening sequences of DVD movies. The PSA, which compares digital piracy to theft, has been widely mocked for being absurd, inspiring the creation of parody videos and image macros.
