Threatening messages aimed to prevent digital piracy have the opposite effect if you're a man, a new study from the University of Portsmouth has found. According to the research, women tend to respond positively to this kind of messaging, but men typically increase their piracy behaviors by 18%.
I’m curious now, what was the justification for that claim?
There was none. The full quote from the ad is “Piracy funds terrorism, and will destroy our development and your future enjoyment”. Whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean. Which terrorists are we funding?
Either way, those anti-piracy ads are stupidly hilarious.
Buying pirated DVDs is one example I assume?
