Wasn't the music they used pirated too?

[–] EK13@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd always heard that but I recently found out from a similar discussion on Lemmy that the pirated music story unfortunately comes from a different advert.

Oh yeah. Now that you mention it I had heard that before. Ah well, it woulda made a good anecdote.
