You're joking but I read this on the news today: "Halfords recorded a seventeenfold rise in the number of jerry cans sold over the weekend compared with the same period a week earlier." Also if you check Amazon UK, most jerry

I bought a Windows 10 key from eBay once for about five dollars, it didn't work so I called Microsoft support and they activated my copy for free, I don't think they care that much.

It comes as no surprise to me, they were monetizing streaming music from YouTube to millions of people, once you get to that scale you can't pretend it's just a hobby project, it's a business that's freeloading on YT con
