Anti-Piracy Screen - Splatoon 2 (2017) is a bait-and-switch screamer video made by user C H M E E Z E on March 8, 2021, it disguised itself as an Anti-Piracy screen that tricks the viewer who has owned the game (breaking the DRM too) to play Splatoon 2, a sequel to third-person shooter game Splatoon.

The video begins with the gameplay of the actual game as the Nintendo Switch anti-piracy measure is shown. As implied, the notice will appear by displaying messages such as "You Are A Theif" with Shepard's Tone audio illusion playing, as the inking progressively zooms in into the screen. Right once the warning is about to end, a distorted-eyeless picture of Marie pops up with loud distorted audio of Penguinz0's phrase "Woo Yeah Baby!" (used in other Anti-Piracy screen videos), The scream in this video would later be used for the uploader's other anti-piracy measure videos of video games. After the screamer, the video cuts to another warning displaying a murdered inkling, and the bottom of the message asks the viewer that the save files will be wiped out of the game.
