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

The music was definitely used illegally though.

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
