Surreal anti-piracy promo from Japanese theaters now online


Boing Boing reader Scott says,
Over at TechJapan, we've managed to secure footage of the bizarre anti-piracy promo being shown in Japan's movie theaters that was recently discussed on Boing Boing. The clip is available in 3GP (Quicktime) and WMV (Windows Media) formats and we've also provided a transcript.
Snip from transcript:
(Picture of girl looking sad.)
Girl: "Movies are being stolen."
Girl: "Our enjoyment (of movies) is being stolen."

(Black tear appears on girl's face.)
Girl: "Important things will be destroyed."

Text: I want to protect movies, I want to protect our enjoyment (of movies).
(Tear runs down girl's face, drops into water and skull appears. Fades to image of eroding film.)

Text and voiceover: Pirate movie eradication campaign

The clip closes on a still that reads SAVE OUR MOVIES, accompanied by a dark, mournful heart icon. Link
