Since the creators have always allowed noncommercial copying of the film, it became a viral video after video-sharing sites such as Google Video and YouTube went online in the mid-2000s.
Huh, so allowing people to freely copy this piece of media helped get your message out there.
Reminds me of how sharing tapes of Metallica helped get them famous and then they turned on Napster.
I won’t copy that floppy anymore.
I will, however, shamelessly steal from the internet.
But not with floppies.
I would love it if floppy disks made a comeback, but with space for terabytes. Or maybe minidiscs with the cool mechanical drive drawers.
Physical media cannot be tracked.
I mean... We have tape storage. (LTO tapes) It's cheap per TB. But the drives to read them are as expensive as a used car.
i think everyone just uses nvme for that now? You can get little external cases for an m2 drive that are barely bigger than the m2 if thumb drives don't hold enough.

Look at Daddy Warbucks here! I had to make do with a single cassette drive.
Lol, I started out with a Datasette too. I feel the pain.
I used to dream of having a datasette. All we had were two cartridges and whatever I could type in from books or magazines that I could barely read. At bedtime the C64 would be turned off and all would be lost.
Try and tell the young people of today that and they won't believe you.
(We did get a datasette eventually though).
You win the hardcore award. I can only beat this by remembering the few times when I had typed something in for hours and saved it. And then when I went to load it later it would run the tape all the way and throw a LOAD ERROR. At least you knew it was going to go away at night.
