Another day, another Hitler in his bunker being informed of the latest news video spoof. This one is about SOPA, PIPA, and MegaUpload.
Thanks to this meme I’ve seen this segment of Downfall (the movie it’s taken from) more times than I care to mention. Thankfully most of the spoofs which use it are worth watching. And this one is no exception.
It deals with the fallout of SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act), and the taking down of MegaUpload the day after half the Web blacked out content to protest the bills.
This is surely what YouTube was made for: it’s an entertaining video which also seeks to make a serious point. And it does so by using copyrighted content. How ironic.
