Many people do not comprehend that the television medium is a
sole advertising space, where the messages outside of the 'program' are
called television "commercials" for a reason, i.e. a message enticing one to commit to
an action in commerce.
Any so called government 'messages' are actually enticements
for you to commit to a purchase of a product or service, INCLUDING the ABS census ads of last year, and the ABS marriage SURVEY of this year.
On the topic of piracy we have seen letters that were
written to the authorities where the names of (alleged) 'pirates' (whatever
that means) were given and no follow up criminal charges or prosecutions have
occurred.
Apparently the 'authorities' went on a rampage to stop
piracy where they raided the computer swap meet stalls, but alas they are alive
and well still today, i.e. government fail.
At the moment Australian television air waves are littered
with a bs message about piracy.
So an actor is put in a dimly lit room, walking into a
spotlight where his message starts out with the words
"I need to talk to you about illegal downloading,
because the game's changed"
So it may be "illegal" but is it really
"unlawful", as there is a BIG difference.
"New laws have blocked all major pirate sites ..."
This really means nothing as you can still stream movies
from whichever site you choose.
Have those laws (in
Australia) been put in force lawfully? - We say no.
Now the next part of the sentence is using FEAR in order for
you to purchase from other movies streaming sites.
"as for the rest, well hell of a risk... "
appealing to your emotion, this one being fear.
"could end up with viruses , spyware stolen credit card
details, even identity theft"
Notice the word "could" which does not mean you
will.
We know of people who have been downloading (illegally?) from
personal computers for a very long time, who have not had any of their credit card
details stolen or viruses on their personal computer.
We know that if you download / stream from specialised
computer hardware dedicated to
downloading sites, credit card theft cannot occur since this computer equipment
does not contain any of your personal banking details.
What guarantee have you got that if you purchase (with your
credit card, as you cannot with cash) a service from the advertised streaming
sites e.g. Stan or Netflix, that your credit card details will not be taken or
even hacked from them?
NONE!
He then goes on to say "or you can spend a few
bucks...." blah blah blah
Umm, yeah you have already spent a few bucks - on your internet
service / streaming box.
Then he states "the choice is yours" - which it
is, and there is little anyone can do about it.
He then caps it off with "good luck" - appealing
to fear again ?
What an idiot, a$$hole or hard up for work actor putting his
face to this bs message.
See the enticement for you to commit to a commercial transaction:
