Easter Egg on Apple’s Website
Saturday, August 30th, 2008 | Apple, Funny, Microsoft | 58 Comments

From the ad:
“I’ve just bought my favourite movie of all time on DVD from a shop. Now I’ve got to sit through an unskippable anti-piracy advert every single time I put the disc into my DVD player, even though I own a legit, shop-bought copy…”
Unfortunately the domain referenced in the ad isn’t active anymore.
It seems to me like the people who came up with those anti-piracy ads follow the same kind of reasoning as people who say that limiting legal firearm ownership will reduce violent crimes involving illegal firearms (so far, most American school shootings have happened in gun-free zones), or that abstinence is the only good form of sex education (President Bush’s current policy, proved wrong by several studies showing that people taught abstinence-only tended to have just as much sex as people who weren’t, but are less likely to use a condom when they do).

Below is an unboxing video of the new Samsung Omnia (obviously viral):
