Value Artists has put together a PSA called 'Cloned' and produced by Hope of Glory Pictures LTD.
Part of its bid to end downloading, the minute-long commercial shows a doctor who is happily downloading music on the web, and subsequently gets laid off from her job because she's been cloned and they no longer need her. The aim of this PSA by Value Artists is to use a metaphor to show how downloading music is akin to cloning human beings. Well, maybe not that bad, but you get the idea.
