TIL the music used in the infamous "you wouldn't download a car" anti-piracy advert was pirated - Mander

I don’t understand this marketing campaign at all. it doesn’t make any sense to me. I can’t imagine a person who would say no. I would definitely not download a car because that would be stealing. I can’t think of a single person who would do that. that makes no goddamn sense

The actual phrase was “you wouldn’t steal a car”. The idea was to equate piracy and theft. It wasn’t really taken seriously even then.

Like the old “this is your brain on drugs” ad, with eggs frying in the pan. WTF you talkin’ bout? Now I got the munchies, and I’m too stoned to cook. Just pop Hot Pocket in the microwave.
