You Wouldn't Steal a Car

Uncommon card · No. 177056

"You Wouldn't Steal a Car" (also known as "Piracy. It's a Crime.") is the de facto title of a series of public service announcement trailers produced by Warner Bros. and marketed by the Motion Picture Association of America. Published on June 8, 2004, it was launched as an international campaign to combat the rapid emergence of pirating copyrighted movies, especially with regard to the increasing prevalence of internet access at home in the early 2000s. Having been widely disseminated through cinema screenings and an unskippable segment on many commercial DVDs sold between 2004 and the late 2000s, it spawned a range of memes and parodies.
