Sony Announces The Death of Floppy Disk

But the Disk Protector ain't leaving

27.04.2010, par

No surprise in that, 3.5-inch Floppy disk is dead today. I hesitated to put that on the blog knowing that people who would be interested in that info would already know by now anyway. And I just remembered this 1992 anti-copy hip hop commercial. Which is worth digging. It was produced by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA).

Making some research on the SIIA’s website, guess what I just found? The rapper DP, featured in that 92′ commercial got back in May 2009, and switched from Sugarhill Gang style to 50 cent. And he is still ready to get on your ass if you happen to copy a… CD!
