Right now, this is what really jumpsout at me:
- I really don't think spoiler warning are needed ;-)
- Well I'm not sure its needed either, but MoS says to use one when describing a video's content.
- It's not a movie or tv series, but rather a advertisment, IMHO. At any rates, a {{endspoilers}} would be nice.

- Needs sections and inine citations
- There are no direct quotations used, no inline cites are therefore needed. Sections I could understand, but I dont see where it should be broken.
- see criterion 2(c) of Wikipedia:What is a featured article. FAC will not let you get away with such an argument.
- Clearly you looked right past the "REFERENCES" section of the article ;) ALKIVAR™

- However, the games the video chooses as examples: The Oregon Trail, Tetris and the Where is Carmen Sandiego? series; were among the most successful and largest selling educational games of the late-1980s to mid-1990s. I don,t get the point of this "However".
- Re-read the paragraph this sentance is a rebuttal to the lead in sentance of the paragraph: "The point of the video is the message that software piracy will cause the computer and video game industry to lose profit, resulting in halted production of further computer games."
- I still don't get what makes it contradictory. If tey are popular, obviously they would be the most copied, wouldn't they?

- Who designed the campaign? What was the impact, if any?
- Uhm... who designed the campaign is stated quite clearly in the 2nd sentance of the article :)
- e.g. which publicist.

- The SPA, the CREATOR of the product IS A PUBLICIST, and acted so for this production. This is stated in the second sentance ""Don't Copy That Floppy" was an anti-software piracy ad campaign run by the Software Publishers Association (SPA). emphasis mine ALKIVAR™ 09:18, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

forgive the interspersed responses, easier to rebut that way. ALKIVAR™ 01:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Maybe you could state how long the ad is. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 10:48, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- It has a run time of 9 mins 38 seconds... I dont see how that fact really matters to the article though. ALKIVAR™ 09:15, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- The article appears to be on the short side. Information on how was the campaign received by it's intended audience would be worthy of inclusion. -- Longhair 05:02, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
