Microsoft has asked various people who posted photos and video clips of the company's Matrix spoof to remove them from their sites...
Isn't that a lost cause? An attempt at preventing the distribution of interesting information in this day and age is futile, and undoubtably tarnishes Microsoft's reputation.
Had they said "guys, please be aware that this is humor, and does not neccessarily represent the views of MS staff", they would have made a significantly better impression.
Informing everyone that the images are strictly internal achieves little more than stirring controversy. Now everyone wants to see the video, simply because it is forbidden. It's human nature. And people will find ways of obtaining that content, weather MS wants them to or not;
