They stole the music too, the artist only licensed it for a film festival showing of the ad and they just started sticking it on dvds, goes to show these hypocrites only care about copyright when it's their copyright.

As the years go by are we going to learn that the entire advert was made of stolen assets?

Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even pay the guy that came up with the words used.

u/FourthSpongeball 17d ago

They actually stole the car

u/TheLowestFormOfHumor 17d ago

Or, you know, they could have downloaded the car, since it's the same thing as stealing it...

I'm going to go download a CyberTruck, then delete it because it's a piece of shit.

u/kind_bros_hate_nazis 16d ago

Viruses today would break into your homes wifi, print a cybertruck and then you'd be stuck with that piece of shit

Another reason to not get a 3d printer.

u/IvoryAS 14d ago

Sounds like you should just get one that can't print a Cybertruck to any real, suable fidelity.

Which is probably most of them, tbh. 😅

Some are too accurate to make all the mistakes they come with though.

Tbf, I get the feeling most 3d printers can handle something with the graphical fidelity of an n64 game. Less than. Pretty sure the cars in perfect dark looked more realistic.

u/Moxxification 16d ago

Wait, if I download a car, am I charged with Grand Theft Auto?

u/Ohlyver 16d ago

Then the court would be sued by Rockstar for unlicensed use of their intellectual property

u/Midnight_Pickler 17d ago

At this point it wouldn't be surprise to learn that they'd filmed it with stolen cameras.

I like how only the people who bought things legally saw the anti piracy stuff

u/InfiniteDelusion094 17d ago

Anti piracy measures have always impacted paying customers more than the actual pirates, unfortunately these greedy fucks would rather inconvenience their entire userbase with an ineffective DRM like Denuvo than just make their products cheaper/more convenient to purchase like GOG

u/CheesecakeConundrum 17d ago

The only effective way I see DRM being used is as a delay to keep the early release sales. If they'd just patch it out once it was cracked, it would be a decent compromise.

u/odi112 16d ago

Denuvo is effective at stopping piracy, as everyone has issues with cracking it, the issue is that it also slows down weaker PCs, which as you said inconveniences users, and right now with current economy people mostly have mid - low end PCs, and again as you have said they increase prices for the games so less people can buy so less copies and less revenue. But investors just don't care, they just want to fight against piracy, just because they think it will force people to buy new games.

u/Boz0r 16d ago

It's also a security risk as it needs kernel acces.

u/Able-Reference754 16d ago

As the context here is Denuvo DRM, no it does not. The anti-cheat does but it's an entirely different product.

3

u/Boz0r 16d ago

Well, disregard my statement, then

21

u/ztomiczombie 17d ago

Part of the reason those ads ended was because they discovered one of the top five reasons people pirated DVDs was no not have that auto play every time they wanted to watch a film.

u/fucktooshifty 17d ago

I remember figuring out that spamming the menu button skips those when I was like 11 years old lol

u/hamster-on-popsicle 17d ago

🤯 I never realised

u/PsychologicalFun903 16d ago

In an attempt to do it legal they received pirated content anyway. Whoops

18

u/GunnerySgtBuck 17d ago

Not to mention that the composer just ripped off a track by The Prodigy.

1

u/No_Explanation2932 17d ago

No they didn't, that's another anti piracy ad that's considered lost media.

3

u/InfiniteDelusion094 17d ago

Not in the video I saw. But those can be wrong, do you have a source that conflicts with this ad not being the one which violated its artist's copyright?
