While cloned fonts may not be illegal, it certainly wasn’t in the spirit of the campaign.

The music was definitely used illegally though.

As evil as Graham Lineham is, I do need to post the parody of these forwarders that was in The IT Crowd.

After an episode of The IT Crowd was criticised as transphobic, Linehan became involved in anti-transgender activism. He argues that transgender activism endangers women, and has likened the use of puberty blockers to Nazi eugenics. Linehan says his views have lost him work and ended his marriage

Sadly not, most mentally ill people aren't like him, and also it is obvious he is in a cult as this is exactly what cults do to people.
