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

The music was definitely used illegally though.

I am going to download an entire car the moment it is technically possible and feasible to do so with a sufficiently large 3d printer. I don't even care if cars are still a thing by that point, I will do so simply out of principle, to be able to say "Yes I absolutely would download a car, I just did!"

You could just download it, no need to actually print the thing for no reason

I would buy a larger drive to do that though, just to say I did

in which case there are already open source cars out there to download.

How much ram do i need to download first?

Yes I absolutely would download a car

This campaign joins D.A.R.E. as one of the most ironically unsuccessful campaigns of all time.

I mean the original anti-piracy ad said you wouldn't steal a car, because they were trying to equate digital piracy with physical theft, it's the meme edits that say you wouldn't download a car
