"Absolutely, campaigns can change hearts and minds," says Blue Rubicon director Gordon Tempest-Hay. "If you do them right you can make a material impact on people's behaviour. Drink driving, anti-tobacco, even going back to the old clunk click [seatbelt campaign]."

The result of Blue Rubicon's work is the "knock-off Nigel" campaign. The avoidance of the word "piracy" in the adverts is significant.

"Knock off is grubby, you have got something a bit rubbish," says Mr Tempest-Hay.

And there certainly is an attitude to change. A lot of people in the UK download illegally.

Once again, highlighting the shear stupidity of the anti-p2p movement. Millions of ways to criticise the content in this, but I'll leave that to others since I get too many opportunities to do this myself. :smile:

I think the word "piracy" has reached a point where no one is scared of it. Rename it "Intellectual property rapeage," and you will scare people into not downloading stuff.
