That kind of violence wouldn't have been in something like that, and the MPAA wouldn't have made an anti-piracy film, either.

It just looks like some mid 80s horror movie or something. Kinda Troma-ish junk that was filmed by the metric ton by smaller studios.
Teehee, I was joking. :D That's just as bad as thinking the RIAA made this and for real. :P

Oh Spanky, you so crazy!

Its a subtle hint of us heading towards a 1984 society. ;)

This is not that surprising to me - in Denmark, the government started a Stalinesque purging of bootleggers some months ago... complete with a "You can run but you can't hide" advertisement campaign which seems to have deliberately designed to induce as much paranoia as possible. It's doubtful how effective it has been, and whether they really will arrest every single filesharer and bootlegger.

However, they IIRC only purge one city/region at a time and currently they're purging Haderslev in Jutland.
