Remember the "You wouldn't steal a car" PSA? Turns out they pirated both the font AND the music. Exhibits:

font info: fontsinuse.com/uses/67480/pira

pirated font embedded in this PDF: web.archive.org/web/2005122320

and about the music: theransomnote.com/music/news/a

EDIT: more context re the composer, music, and royalties; the story is ofc more nuanced and apparently debunked: torrentfreak.com/sorry-the-you

screenshot of piracy PSA PDF opened to view the embedded fonts and the offending font is called XBANDRough
