Pirates of the Caribbean Anti-Movie Piracy Ad?

We all see anti-piracy ads on DVDs and BluRays and in theaters these days, but they’re all so dull and deadly serious. How about making them fun? They could use movie pirates and have fun with the idea of piracy, and since the Pirates of the Caribbean is such a high-profile, popular series, why not press them into service to help protect Hollywood from piracy?

So here’s how this ad would work: Captain Jack Sparrow’s pirate ship would be attacked and boarded by some British Navy ship, and inside the hold they’d find all these black market DVDs and unlicensed movie merchandise, and the announcer could say that pirating movies is wrong, and if you get caught doing it, you’ll walk the plank. Then we’d see the pirates walking the plank.

Or, if we’re all too accustomed to viewing Jack’s band of scallywags as being good guy anti-heroes, maybe they can take on a naughty band of pirates involved in movie piracy, and they can attack their ship, board her, and destroy all the pirated movies they’re smuggling. Then Jack Sparrow could lecture the naughty pirates about pirate etiquette, telling them it’s okay to steal gold and silver and jewels and such, but not to pirate movies.

Or, maybe Jack Sparrow could break into some computer geek’s basement where they are busy pirating movies, and he could hold a flintlock pistol to their head, making them promise to stop pirating movies and just view movies legally from now on.

And after these ads, they could move on to using the claymation pirates from The Pirates! Band of Misfits, and the pirates from the Starz series Black Sails, etc.

Now wouldn’t that be more fun than what we’re subjected to now?

(BTW: In 2015, I rented Amazon Women on the Moon, which I had never seen before, and in it there is a sketch that is very similar to this idea called: "Video Pirates", starring William Marshall of Blacula fame.)
