It's "DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY 2" (DCTF2):

"The Software & Information Industry Association released an updated version of their "Don't copy that floppy" anti-piracy song today. In their trailer for the song, they have two Klingons talking about copying a CD (http://www.dontcopythat2.com/videos.asp second video, Time: 2:40). The line spoken by the Klingon [only one speaks] was translated by Marc [Okrand]. There are photos of him holding a big board with the Klingon's line on it (http://www.dontcopythat2.com/photos.asp time: 1:17). The board he's holding reads: *De nib Da chen moH chugh / big koov Ha* The translation of the spoken line reads: "To duplicate data is a great dishonor". Obviously this is supposed to be: {De' nIb DachenmoHchugh bIquvHa'}. [...] They use the same [footage] in the music video for the song and subtitle it with pIqaD using what appears to be the Astra Image font set." [posted by qurgh, 9/09/2009]
