Possibly the most succinct refutation of the reasonableness of IP rights ever devised. Rather than proving that copyrights should be respected, it forces people to realize that when computers allow you to completely encompass all human effort into the design or creation of a work, and remove entirely all human effort from the duplication or distribution, dollar value as a measure of scarcity or rarity becomes meaningless.

Yes, and we're saying that that campaign has inadvertently made one the strongest extant demonstrations that torrenting is actively morally good.

And that's amusingly ironic.

"You wouldn't download a car" is a reference to an IT Crowd skit which parodies the anti torrenting campaign you linked. IT Crowd is a wonderful British sitcom, I recommend any techy would enjoy it.
