The picture displayed is in favor of the criminalization of data piracy. It is using imagery and words to portray a negative image towards people who download mp3’s illegally. It associates people who download mp3’s illegal with not only communism but what looks like the devil. Since communism is widely unpopular in the United States it immediately draws a negative light on the poster, especially with the large red lettering. Even without the communist part the devil image is another negative that would also contribute to a how piracy is bad, and would be very unpopular with religious groups. The background of the poster is also very red and dark which makes the scene very eerie.
