Getting Noticed By Management
So there is the ad campaign in Australia at the minute that is aimed at stopping illegal downloading. It features a man who would be roughly 50 years old trying to act intimidating while he tells you the dangers of online piracy and how all the sites have been blocked (because a VPN is hard to get apparently) and then at the end of it all he stares at the screen and says "or you can spend a few bucks and watch it properly"
Now don't get me wrong, piracy is illegal and in a perfect world wouldn't exist but to turn around and arrogantly tell people that the major sites are blocked and you should just spend some money is ridiculous. It completely ignores every fucking problem that exists in the Australian media environment. It's been proven that Australians would pay for content if it was provided to us in a format that didnt involve having to bend over and get fucked by Rupert Murdoch's wrinkly dick
