  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting.

You're Stealing it Wrong: 30 Years of Inter-Pirate Battles

submitted by LarsaruS

1 decade 3 years 6 months 3 weeks ago

From Vimeo:
"Historian Jason Scott walks through the many-years story of software piracy and touches on the tired debates before going into a completely different direction - the interesting, informative, hilarious and occasionally obscene world of inter-pirate-group battles. A multi-media extravaganza of threats, CSI-level accusations and evidence trails, decades of insider lingo, and demonstrations of how the more things change, the more they still have to keep their ratios up."

Enjoy this wonderful talk about the history of software piracy.

welcome and I am annoying! good luck listening to me!

Faulty audio, clicks and pops. Not enjoyable but clear enough to understand the message.

I didn't hear any of that after 16.25 minutes.

Took me a while to get a free hour to watch, but I'm glad I did. Actually, I ended up wishing that he had been allowed to take a leisurely pace through the full talk rather than having to blitz through the last 1/3rd or so...

Still, very interesting and enjoyable -- nice sift!
