Threatening messages aimed to prevent digital piracy have the opposite effect if you're a man, a new study from the University of Portsmouth has found. According to the research, women tend to respond positively to this kind of messaging, but men typically increase their piracy behaviors by 18%.

      I started this meme and have been having a ball watching it go wild. 😁

      FYI, the original context was about a software company that bricked it’s customers’ lifetime licenses to force them into a subscription model.

            I think bribing politicians to make it illegal to own anything is more likely.
