Fun fact: that ad used a pirated font. There are also conflicting reports about it using a pirated song, but that was probably another anti-piracy ad.

It's a funny story but it's worth noting that copyright does not apply to typefaces in the US (although maybe it does in other jurisdictions)
To be fair, this still might be true. Font files are treated the same as regular software and follow copyright.
Where did you get that sticker?
it's not my pictured sorry, i added a source link to the post ^^
the OP said it isn't their thinkpad either but they provided just the picture in case people want to recreate the sticker

Ops about to get rich off that fat sticker money.
Nah, someone here will probably pirate it and undercut his business and he and his children will likely proceed to starve to death because that's what happens with pirating.
you wouldn't preserve media important to you from disappearance!
I also would like to know where to get one?
The font is called "XBAND Rough," if you'd wanna download it and create your own sticker/print.
I think I’ll pirate that sticker
How to get it?
Pirate it
That's just about the worst place to put a sticker
I can imagine the wrist schmoo building up around the edges now.
Please don't go to the toilet in a policeman's helmet and then mail it to his grieving widow.
What if I steal it back from her?
How do I download a car?
Well, there was that dude who downloaded a 3d model of a Lambo or whatever and printed it out. Turns out that's not illegal tho, probably because they never thought somebody would do it.
There's also the kids in India that sculpted one from clay and painted it.
Same as you would download anything else.
I woulge
You need one that says “Thai” to go after ThinkPad.
Dammit, now I'm hungry
This is a good one 😂😂
Wood
You wouldn’t download Claude code’s leaked source, WOULD YOU?!
I don't know about advertising publicly that I pirate, lol
