Torrents and Pirates and…Klingons? Oh my? But wait just a moment – we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

If you’re not already familiar with the Software Publishers Association’s 1992 video warning against the dangers of software piracy – the nigh-legendary “Don’t Copy That Floppy” – then hit this YouTube link and educate yourself. We’ll still be here when you get back.

Back? Good.

It seems that our buddy, MC Double Def DP, is making a return to the scene, according to a report at GamePolitics.com. The Software & Information Industry Association (made up in part of the former SPA) is apparently updating the cautionary rap for the modern age. Check out the teaser for “Don’t Copy That 2″

No, we’re not making this up. Housewives being roughed up by SWAT geared agents. Spilled pasta. Klingons. All because you bastards torrented games. I seriously hope you’re all happy with yourselves, because this is the damage you have caused.

The rest of this video will not arrive quickly enough to satisfy me.
