Everybody seems to remember the 'don't copy that floppy' warnings, but the less-popular 'don't whisk that disk' campaign has fallen into obscurity. 💾 #FloppyDay

So if we'd all copied that floppie, downloaded a car and stolen the tv set then Musk/Zuck/Gates/Thiele/Techbros/Trump/Brexit/Let It Rip/Vaccine Skeptics/AI Slop might never have happened?

Phewww.
But Race For The Flag sure made up for the Gaza Genocide. Right? It did didn't it.

At University, the #RIAA placed a full-page ad in our student newspaper to the effect of "WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE, PIRATES. Lawsuits are coming."

As a joke, I pinned it to the door of my dormitory, along with a brief manifesto, and a final line,

"I'll be away for a bit for the lawsuits."

I then bussed home for the weekend.

My new friends were worried it was real (fair).
