"You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign used unlicensed font (bsky.app)

While cloned fonts may not be illegal, it certainly wasn’t in the spirit of the campaign.

The music was definitely used illegally though.

If your car can't run without its firmware, and you download a new version of it.. Etc.

Anyway, I've heard that this ad possibly resulted in more piracy as people became aware that it was even possible to save money by downloading movies and music. Hard to measure though.

Frankly it's kinda wild that cars are basically whole computers these days.
