Hi. Lemme set the scene for you.
It's the '90s, and you're having a sleepover with your friends.
You've just gone to the video store, and hired two overnighters and three weeklies for, like, $10.
Your pizza is on the way, you're all settled in around the TV, watching the trailers at the start of your VHS.
"Have you ever bought or rented a video that wasn't quite right?"
"It may have been a pirate copy! An illegal and inferior copy, for which you paid good money."
"Pirated tapes are recognisable by poorly presented or photocopied jackets, poor sound, and/or picture quality."
"The lack of censor and other labels on the face and spine of the tape."
"And the absence of warnings, such as this, at the beginning of the tape presentation."
"Pirate tapes rob artists and studios of their rightful income, and add to the cost of a video to the consumer!"
"Video piracy is a major problem in Australia. Please help us stop it."
"If you buy or rent a tape which you believe is not the genuine article, please phone this toll-free number for advice."
