One of my favorite anti-piracy measures was for enter the gungeon. This one wasn't built into the game itself, but there's a specific mod which when downloaded, would check to see if you were running a pirated version of the game. If for some reason you were, the mod took it personally. It would open up two pages in your web browser of choice: one was a link to the LazyTown classic you are a pirate, while the other was the steam page for the actual version of the game.

The really funny thing about that Anti-Piracy ad that was shown at the beginning was that the song that was played throughout the PSA wasn't even approved for usage by the original artist, leading to a huge copyright lawsuit. It's quite ironic if you think about it, an ad made to spread awareness on piracy and help prevent it ends up doing just exactly that anyways.

From what I've looked up it's not the "You wouldn't steal a car" ad but actually a different Anti-Piracy ad from Holland. Where the original ad was only intended for a film festival. After the festival however, the PSA was released to the general public. Meaning it took royalties from the original artist.

Actually, that "anti-piracy" measure in Freedom Planet, I hear doesn't get triggered even if you pirate the game. And so, the audio files for it are just left in the internal files of the game. It literally has Lilac and Carol talk to the player about the game being a pirated copy, only for Lilac to say they're gonna led the player play the game anyways, and that if the player wants the sequel, they should fund the devs, and then Carol gets abit greedy in mindset. Lilac then says the URL to the page to make donations for the game. Obviously, the game devs did get enough funding even with this unused not really being "anti-" antipiracy measure, as a sequel to the game did get released.

School Days isn't memed for being a bad anime, it is pretty infamous for reverse character development and the protagonist getting hated for cheating and treating the girls badly. The reason it is meme'd is for its final episode being so unexpectedly violent that the japanese tv channels decided to pull the airing and instead show footage of a boat on a river for 30 minutes. It was later rebroadcasted heavily censored during the night. Since then people like to say "Nice Boat!" in response to censorship or other occasions. Aside from that, the game also had a minigame where chibi versions of sekai and kotonoha were going at each other with their prefered yandere weapons. This also got memed, parodied and referenced alot.

You should have mentioned the DS version of Michael Jackson the Experience, because it had a funny anti-piracy measure. With the developers being from Brazil (the DS version was made by Ubisoft São Paulo), they put a really funny/annoying anti-piracy schtick. When played in certain flashcarts and emulators (I had no problem on my R4, but you can find some people with less luck), the sound of Vuvuzelas would be played along the song, and no prompts would be displayed on screen (the game on DS was a Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents clone).

Anti-Piracy screens and "secrets" were the best back in the day. Most of them were so mysterious and strange and slightly creepy, but also imposed a rule and force/feeling of doing something very wrong. Nowadays it's more based around impossible enemies and stats or mechanics locked away from you. (P.S. I'm mostly saying this because I LOVED the Sonic CD Secret Screen (the origin of "Majin Sonic"). Especially the US version with its creepy boss music.)

Here's one that is slightly creepy and asshole-ish: in the Famicom/NES game Gimmick!, in one of the final levels the game checks for a sprite of a bug on a castle wall. If it isn't there then the game is genuine, but otherwise the game freezes you on a black screen that says "BLACK HOLE". Gimmick! is a very difficult game to play and in order to even unlock the last level and get the proper ending you have to go out of your way to find a treasure on each of the 5 levels, and then doing tricky platforming or solving a puzzle, or both. Imagine all the effort someone had to go through to get to the last level, only to be greeted with that screen.

_Pokémon's "Buy It Or Die"_ is a hack. The technical explanation is that there's a bunch of slack-space near the end of the ROM that's normally padded with bullshit or left blank, and the game wouldn't look there because that's just junk made to pad out the file-size. The _"Buy It Or Die"_ message was put there, and the original conversation was hacked to add a jump-and-return for that region. If it were a legit copy, that text would be in a nearby location contemporary to the rest of the conversation (which would make it harder for hackers to put there without significantly distorting the layout of the ROM code), not at the very end where you could put whatever the hell you wanted without fear of distorting the ROM and breaking something important.

Damn that Nintendo DS cartridge takes me back. I had two of those, but they don’t work anymore, they’re operate for only a few years then commit suicide to leave nothing behind. Each one had like 30 games on them.

You can set back the DS time to use it again, or replace the firmware files on the SD cards.

No wonder I couldn't start a new game in "Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story." (Yes, I got a pirated version but, as soon as I found them in stores, I bought one. I highly recommend this title if you like RPGs )

The Earth Bound Anti -Piracy measure has to be my favorite, it lets you play through the whole game, with the difficulty increased, then right as you are about to beat it, Boom, it resets and all of your progress is just GONE.

It's brilliant though. Doxxing may be illegal but in order to report them, you drop yourself into it too by admitting you are pirating.

Dark Souls 1 wasn’t staff invading with phantoms, they spawned 3 (I think) black knights in the dungeon with you at the beginning so it was nigh impossible to progress. I remember reading about it on Joystiq.

I would much rather buy officially if I can. The only real justification for me personally is if the game isn't released in North America, or if the mods are considered piracy. But piracy is like underaged drinking. Would I do it? No. But will I report it? No, as long as they aren't driving

I know its a fangame but sonic gather battle has an insane and malicious and possibly illegal anti-piracy measure to prevent you from stealing the sprites. Sprites which where not the creaters which he just modified.

I actually do remember hearing about the Cross Days trojan virus! Apparently it did also effect other eroge/hentai games, it's just that Cross Days (which I heard the Days games were actually alright, the 4th game is even a visual novel tower defense game on 3DS!) turned out to be one of them. Honestly, I wouldn't be embarrassed to get caught playing an eroge. Now, my actual personal computer information getting doxxed, on the other hand... Also the Japanese Ace Attorney game is called Ace Attorney Investigations 2, and it has a fan translation so people CAN actually play it in a language they understand!

I heard that game dev tycoon game's anti-piracy measure was later added to the game as a sort of impossible difficulty mode, even for those who actually bought the game, possibly to allow non-pirates to mess around with this anti-piracy measure without needing to pirate the actual game

I assume the friendly anti-piracy screens that don’t hinder gameplay and politely ask the pirate to support the game if they enjoyed it are more effective at actually stopping piracy.
