“A famous anti-piracy campaign from the early 2000s is in the spotlight after it appeared the font used in the adverts was pirated.” 😂💀 Also I like that Sky is quoting from Bluesky user, @rib.gay. Bluesky is continuing its growth.

news.sky.comYou wouldn't steal a font: Famous anti-piracy campaign may have used pirated typefaceThe dramatic adverts, which compared pirating films to stealing cars, handbags and televisions, became a piece of pop culture history, with spoofs spawned for years afterwards.

By using FontForge on a PDF from the website for the campaign (web.archive.org/web/20051223...); I can confirm that they are indeed using the illegal clone version of the font, rather than the licensed one!
