Cute Story: How Bob The Millionaire Became a Pirate

I hear people complain and argue all the time about how studios are forcing people to pirate. It's definitely not a clear cut and simple issue, and people are writing about it all the time. But no one on either side has made it this "cute" before!

How Bob The Millionaire Became a Pirate

Winning the hearts and minds of the people on this issue (and therefore shaping the law) is how I think this will be determined. With all the creative skills and resources on the motion picture and recording artist side of the world, one has to wonder why they aren't making use of it to sway our opinions. How about a few blockbusters with messages about content piracy? Hollywood has never shyed away from a message before.

But what I'd really like to see is Mark Cuban use his resources to make some clever multimedia spots on the side of "DRM is stupid, and stop treating your customers like criminals." How about it Mark!? You could even simply host it on your website and it will spread like wildfire!
