Piracy It's A Crime

Bumper: We see a woman on a computer downloading a film, then it cuts to the animated stripes background with the words "YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR" in a thin grungy font, then it cuts to a man carjacking a car in a street, then it cuts to the same background with the words "YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A HANDBAG", then it cuts to the same man stealing a woman's handbag, then it cuts to the same background "YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A TELEVISION" then it cuts to a guy handing the man a television before he walks off with it, then it cuts to the same background with the words "YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A MOVIE" then it cuts to the man stealing a DVD. Then the clips reverse until it cuts to the same background with the words "DOWNLOADING", "PIRATED", "FILMS" and "IS STEALING" appearing one at a time. Then it cuts to the same woman waiting for the film to download, then it cuts to the same background with the word "STEALING" and it cuts to the woman canceling the download, then it cuts to the same background with the words "IS AGAINST", then it cuts to the close up of the computer, then it cuts to the same background with the words "THE LAW" then it cuts to the woman having canceled the download. She grabs her bag and walks out of her bedroom, then it cuts to the same background with the words "PIRACY IS A CRIME" until it cuts to black.

2nd Bumper (2003- )
Bumper: We start off with a close-up of a couple of people walking outside including teen girls, mostly the woman is the same one from the previous one. Then, it cuts to the the same people getting a treasury of video discs. This cuts to the animation from the previous bumper, with a few differences:


 * "YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A TELEVISION" is replaced by "YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A MOBILE PHONE". We pan up to a wooden table, then a mobile phone appears, the hand grabs the mobile phone, then we cut to an extreme close-up of the mobile phone and it reveals a full table instead.
 * "DOWNLOADING" is replaced by "BUYING".
 * Instead of the woman waiting for the download, we pan up to see a treasury of video discs.
 * After the word "STEALING", we see another zoom-out of a treasury of video discs.
 * After the word "IS AGAINST", we see see another zoom-out of another set of a treasury of video discs.
 * After the word "THE LAW", we see a full set of a treasury of video discs, then flashes into a close-up of a treasury of video discs, then flashes into the full set again, then it flashes, and the two people walk off.

Variants:
 * As with the previous bumper, on some UK or Australian tapes/DVDs, "BUYING PIRATED FILMS" is replaced by "MOVIE PIRACY".
