Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets
eefsee writes "USA Today is running a story about Pepsi's Superbowl ad for their iTunes promotion. The ad will apparently feature teens sued by the RIAA, including one young woman who holds out a Pepsi and says, 'We are still going to download music for free off the Internet.' The RIAA response? 'This ad shows how everything has changed.'"
That's a great lesson to teach. Download music, get caught, get famous in a Super Bowl ad. What a bleak and horrible future we live in.
A programmer is a machine for converting coffee into code.
Mitch Bainwol, RIAA chairman says ",Legal downloading is great because fans are supporting the future of creative work in America."
We need to have a 'present' first.

Ah yes, the good life.. Drinking Pepsi and stealing from those poor record companies. Back in my day we only have Coke and we had to bootleg eight tracks..
who along with her older sister and younger brother downloaded 950 songs over three years.
That is laughable... An average geek downloads that much stuff in 2-3 months.
...during the superbowl, I will be wirelessly offering 300 gigs of Mp3s (that weren't from p2p networks) outside of my house. The wep key passphrase? "We are still going to download music for free off the Internet."

Mr. O'Connor, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
How are you going to keep them down on the farm once they've seen Karl Hungus?
Oh great! I use to love stealing music but if Pepsi likes it then it just ain't cool no more. At least I still have smoking *cough* *cough* You stay the hell away from that Pepsi!
If only we could convince everyone to buy only used CDs! Er, wait...
Use Ctrl-C instead of ESC in Vim!
I'll wait till the commercial is on Kazaa, then I'll get it and watch it:)

Well then maybe you've been watching the wrong kind of football to begin with?
A simple no would have sufficed...
Hurray for Darwin.

>RIAA members are like banks
What a nasty thing to say about banks.
P.S. Conning people out of their life's work is not "loaning" them anything.
Yes, I know they updated the ad with an iPod, but....
Have the Blonde being chased by RIAA police while the drones watch the latest RIAA anti-piracy ad on the big screen. Have Blonde throw the sledgehammer into the screen, etc etc.

Well, at least until they get to Step 3, anyway.
In Soviet Rush, today's Tom Sawyer gets high on you.
Right, it's "the Internal Revenue Service".

Ironically, after committing an hour of your life debating this ad on slashdot, it has gained an infamous reputation amongst us, and when you see it during the superbowl, your gonna remember the controversy - then, and now. And when someone yells to you if you want a drink from the store you're gonna ask for a PEPSI. Remeber to stick with beer... or You lose.

Don't worry, man, you'll be living there tomorrow.
They've been telling me that for years, but somehow it's still the present...
