Typical.

Especially when that ad was released, nobody considered piracy a crime seriously then.

Those making the ad could probably be thinking like: something business-made, with workhours put into it, shouldn't be pirated, that's theft, but something made by enthusiasts can, it's taking what doesn't have an owner, just toys in the Internet, and also GPL is dishonest for having rules, it's cheating and poison, it's ownerless too, only companies doing business should be able to sue for IP violations.
