Oh that thing was impossible to miss! It was on every DVD (alongside the FBI warning), they showed it at movie theatres in the middle of the trailers, it was so hard to miss that I'm surprised it took so long for the parodies to start.
And it was actually kinda cool, the first few hundred times! The music, the fonts, the whole style of the thing was just so opposite from anything anybody had ever seen from the authorities before. FBI, MPAA, Blockbuster, record companies, all those big stiff corporate suit places, would NEVER! If pirating wasn't so good at letting me see the movies that they were refusing to distribute in small-market countries like mine (or at least, that we only got a year or two later) it might even have worked on me.
Allen but one of the good ones
