That was actually the slogan way back when when floppies were the means of distributing new software. Anyone else remember that?

WordPerfect 5.2 for Windows was a BIG program and it came on 8 floppies.

    My Windows is actually legit!  Ha.  I need to go dig up those old floppies.  I've also got a two-floppy mouse driver.  Not to mention Word Perfect and several games on B-drive floppies.  Ah, I miss my old IBM...  The hours of Quest and Double Dragon on that computer were priceless.

      Rap and anti-piracy, two things the world would be better off without!

      It's obvious, judging from the movie, that the SPA is not only brainwashing the youth but it also releases spyware and annoying black people who take over your PC and start singing in a really crappy fashion.

      Besides that, "tetris" never failed. (He "raps", can't call it singing, about that) just like no company ever had to shutdown because of piracy...

        You can legally download the last DOS Version of Microsoft Word that was ever released.

        http://www.downloadsquad.com/2005/11/25/free-file/

        The download is provided my Microsoft, so its piracy free!
