Home Cooking Is Killing The Restaurant Industry
“Home Taping Is Killing Music” was the slogan used in a 1980s anti-piracy campaign by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The slogan did very little to keep people from doing so, but over the years it has resulted in many hilarious references and parodies.
Below is one of these classics. The image has been popping up on various blogs for years and once again gained attention as it was posted on Gizmodo today.
In 1981 the Dead Kennedys printed “Home taping is killing record industry profits! We left this side blank so you can help” on one side of In God We Trust, Inc. cassette.
In the 30 years that passed not much has changed obviously.
The spin-offs of the slogan are just as funny though, or even more so. “Home Cooking Is Killing The Restaurant Industry,” is one of my personal favorites. What’s yours?

Another lousy analogy. You BOUGHT the food to cook it at home. You didn’t download it off the internet for free.
I bought the internet service and computer allowing me to be given a low quality version.
I’m buying the food but not the meal.
Capt_Yellow, you sir are the WINNER
This is such a terrible, terrible analogy.
With piracy, you are getting someone else’s product for free. Not creating your own.
With home-cooking, you are taking your own resources, and creating a product. Not taking someone else’s for free.
A better analogy is
home cooking:restaurants::home movies:the movie industry
If you grew your own food, that is like writing your own story, filming your own movie, and then enjoying the product.
If you stole a meal from the restaurant, or had a deal with one of the cooks where he slips a meal to you for free, then that -does- hurt the restaurant. And it’s a more apt analogy.
^No.. actually I hunt and kill my food
then cook it myself and add potatoes from my garden
what now lol
@Jason
Gardening is killing the food industry.
Peace is killing the killing industry
I’d rather go with “Masturbation is killing the prostitution industry”.
So if I got that right, if prostitution is killing the marriage industry, and homefucking is killing prostitution, then the logical conclusion would be, that “homefucking is killing the marriage industry”.
now I’m utterly confused :S
Wrong conclusion. If homefucking killed prostitution, it is dead, right? So it will not be able to kill marriage.
Oh true, that probably was my mistake. So homefucking is encouraging marriage? eww… More prostitutes ftw ^^
Smoking Cigarettes is slowly killing you
homemade sex tapes are killing the porn industry!
Emo Foxes are killing the happy industry
If you steal a meal or the cook gives you one the restaurant ends up with one less meal.
Someone here believes that if you download a movie the movie company ends up with one less DVD.
What could kill the idiot-making company?
