Fun fact: that ad used a pirated font. There are also conflicting reports about it using a pirated song, but that was probably another anti-piracy ad.

It's a funny story but it's worth noting that copyright does not apply to typefaces in the US (although maybe it does in other jurisdictions)

[-] Fifrok@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago

To be fair, this still might be true. Font files are treated the same as regular software and follow copyright.

[-] not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 2 months ago

Ops about to get rich off that fat sticker money.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

Nah, someone here will probably pirate it and undercut his business and he and his children will likely proceed to starve to death because that's what happens with pirating.

you wouldn't preserve media important to you from disappearance!

[-] Gott@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 months ago

I also would like to know where to get one?

[-] FatherPeanut@pawb.social 19 points 2 months ago

The font is called "XBAND Rough," if you'd wanna download it and create your own sticker/print.

[-] standarduser@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago

I think I’ll pirate that sticker

[-] webkitten@piefed.social 11 points 2 months ago

Please don't go to the toilet in a policeman's helmet and then mail it to his grieving widow.

[-] StretchAgain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

What if I steal it back from her?

[-] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago

That's just about the worst place to put a sticker

[-] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

I can imagine the wrist schmoo building up around the edges now.

Well, there was that dude who downloaded a 3d model of a Lambo or whatever and printed it out. Turns out that's not illegal tho, probably because they never thought somebody would do it.

There's also the kids in India that sculpted one from clay and painted it.

[-] Arcka@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

Same as you would download anything else.

[-] Codpiece@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

You need one that says “Thai” to go after ThinkPad.

[-] Thorned_Rose@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Dammit, now I'm hungry

[-] OctoLumia@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

You wouldn’t download Claude code’s leaked source, WOULD YOU?!

[-] Internet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

I don't know about advertising publicly that I pirate, lol
