You obviously have not seen the 2009 sequel. They brought the same dude back
and tried to modernize him (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUCyvw4w_yk). It
is just as laughable.
Microsoft and Adobe still benefit from pirated proprietary software, just not
as much as software paid for at the full price, and obtained legally.
It's because, even the pirated software, is still promoting the MS operating

"Don't copy that floppy" was an awful anti sharing campaign from the 90s
