An anti-piracy screen is a screen that appears when an individual plays a pirated copy of a video game, TV channel, or other media. These screens can be real or fan-made, and they are designed to discourage piracy by making it difficult or impossible to play the pirated content. Some anti-piracy screens are creepy or unnerving, and they may include messages threatening legal action or other consequences for piracy. However, it is important to note that most anti-piracy screens are fake unless proven real via an actual recording. Some real anti-piracy measures made by developers include exposing pirates and leaking their personal information.
