I don't remember ever seeing such an advertisement in my life.
You've never seen this? Never heard "home taping is killing music" or "don't copy that floppy"?
No to all of those. I don't remember ever seeing a floppy. Oldest media formats I remember using are cds and cassettes. And that was in elementary school.
ig the piracy is theft advertising was more of a 90s thing that died down in the 2000s if those are your examples?
Yeah, I guess so. Best I can recall, most people I knew were either avid pirates or casually saw it as low-level criminal activity by the early 2000s.
