It was probably 10ish years ago I read about it. Most likely on BoingBoing. Will see if I can find it. Indeed it is not easily dug up. There are many ads about the coming trend of "Virtual Product Placement" but none that I can find which acknowledge the early attempts at it which I read about way back.

There was a case of it just recently—the Amazon Jack Reacher series was released in February (around tax time) and had a TurboTax ad edited onto the side of a building when viewed in America. https://gizmodo.com/digital-ads-streaming-netflix-amazon-nbc-peacock-1848938884 https://gizmodo.com/digital-ads-streaming-netflix-amazon-nbc...
