UPDATE – We’ve hit the web big, with over 304,000 views on YouTube as of 7 December 2009. See the video and check out all the extra features here.
The sequel to our 1992 viral video Don’t Copy That Floppy hits the Web on 9 September 2009. In Don’t Copy That 2, actor / rapper ME Hart reprises his role as MC Double-Def DP, a virtual spokescreature who materializes to warn us about the downside of pirating software, music, games, and other copyrighted content.
A sneak-peek trailer for the new video was shown at the SIIA (Software & Information Industry Association) COdie Awards in San Francisco in May; the trailer has become an instant hit on YouTube, racking up over 100,000 views in just a few weeks.
Like its predecessor, the new video features dance moves and sweet rhymes from cyber-rapper DP, as well as some hot vocals by hip-hop sensation BSheba. Yes, there are Klingons whose behavior may shock you. And a surprise sequence at the end that is sure to generate controversy and bring a provocative angle to the ongoing debate about copyright, piracy, and enforcement.
You can watch Don’t Copy That 2 right here at MJville on 9 September, or check out SIIA’s website for the YouTube link, full production credits, lyrics, and other goodies.
