"You wouldn't download a car", ads shown by the MPAA in 2004 in cinemas and as unskippable sections of DVDs, recalled by @itgrrl . I also recall with glee that the *pirated* versions of these DVDS made those ads skippable.#EverythingOpen #EverythingOpenAllAtOnce

@mattcen @itgrrl it’s also COMPLETELY APT that the MPAA did not license the music used in their iconic “you wouldn’t download a car” ad, and later faced legal action from the creator. #everythingopen
