Im watching this video almost 10 years after it was made. Thanks to defcon for posting it and thanks to TH-cam for actually keeping it up and not censoring it... yet. Oh my, have times changed. These videos are like little time capsules and im so happy to have them here.
I have a copy of the "pirate notices" collection referenced at the end of the talk, and it's quite an entertaining dive to go through. Would love to see a talk dedicated just to that.
i saw the meme 22:29 and i couldn't stop laughing - not only because i found it funny - but because i realized that back in the day it was funny, and a few years later it wasn't anymore, and recently it came back to being funny for different reasons.
if your service is worse than what pirates get, then people will pirate. The solution isn't anti piracy measures or yet more anti consumer crap, but better services. Take yt premium. You can 'download' videos, but still need internet to ask for permission to play it. Or ubisoft's allways online bs even for singleplayer games. Or apple's everything. I don't deal with those companies anymore or use adblockers and download whatever I want to watch offline in a normal video format that I can play whenever. I'd pay if I got value and not be treated like scum.
Hey Jason Scott! Who said "It is not our job to define what the future finds fascinating."? I don't want to get sued for two billion dollars. Just kidding only curious. I couldn't find it. Seem very prophetic and extremely correct.
As I watch you start to explain software and piracy, I can't help but wonder why it is that all libraries have copying machines. The irony is too much for me to remain laughing while not on the floor.
"Part of being a historian is that you quickly learn to become a hater of all things, and you realize we're on a small boat in a world of shit and there's a leak."
Who needs to pirate anything with Free Software out there like GNU/Linux to use instead of Windows, or Firefox or Google Chrome to use instead of Internet Explorer and Edge?
Because it useless ugly and buggy amateurish garbage most of the time. Software is just a tool, and you don't wan't skimp on it if it's a tool of your trade. And even if there is a lot people behind some Open Source project it doesn't make competetive or good for end user. GIMP and OpenOffice will never reach quality and usabilty of Photoshop and Microsoft Office(even though it's bloated and almost unsable as it is, it's still better than crooked and buggy OO)

The piracy detector van is a nod to the BBC's "television detector van" which doesn't even exist but whose details are still an Official Secret...
They existed. The BBC just hugely exaggerated the scale of their use in order to scare people into compliance.
Cool point about how "asking for Priscilla" might actually be a way to see which things people are reading.
really enjoying the way Jason speaks. His facts are super interesting and so relevant to understanding where we are at today.

is there any way to still obtain it? i'd love to dig through it myself :)
Jason, you have a good spirit - keep up the good work and thanks!
Lmao - I love the "[graduate of] Wikipedia" shirt!
That was close to $30,000 in PC AT systems in that picture at 42:38

another now irrelevant meme at 36:50

Nice custom font on the Silicon Warrior farewell page...I wonder how hard that was to implement...

Jason Scott is like the Serj Tankian of the software industry, lmao
Wow, crazy point about how IBM used to let people use computers others had purchased - lol.

I love this video and keep coming back to it, but to this day I don’t understand why at 1:39 people laugh at the destruction of a country :o
It sounds more like the nervous laughter you get when you realize things have gone horribly wrong.
@@OTheFool I hope.
I think it was shock.
Lets hope the above comments are right, i thoughtthe same thing.
@@OTheFool the problem is that things have gone horribly *right* - for the US that is.
Can we hire someone to just follow him with a recorder?

you can copy/archive anything for educational purposes. The entire thing.
it's also much longer to copy an entire book, might be better to work instead and buy the book then copy it for free
is it me or is the audio a bit fucky?
It absolutely was.
DIVE DIVE DIVE, HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT
