An idiotic PSA comparing pirating a 1 GB movie file and stealing a full blown $50k+ 2 ton vehicle. The phrase was a part of an anti-piracy campaign called "Piracy, It's a Crime" created by Motion Picture Association. The PSA paints piracy as a bad thing even though it helps people living in 3rd world countries, aids developers test out software, and opens artists up to a whole new world of software.
"You wouldn't download a car" is a common variant of the phrase, originally created by Reddit user augreeko on /r/funny.

stealing is against the law,
PIRACY. IT’S A CRIME.

A common abbreviation of "carbon copy".
A carbon copy, in email terms, is sending an exact copy of an email (hence "carbon copy") to another person besides the main recipient(s). It differs from simply forwarding or putting another person in the "to" section in that it indicates they are simply passive readers, and not the main subjects intended to respond.
The term stems from when a sheet of carbon was placed between a document and a blank piece of paper. A pen or pencil was pressed down on the fresh sheet of paper to make an exact copy of the original piece of writing. Now it is simply used metaphorically.

I CC'd my mother on the business document.

I'll CC you the email for future reference.

People generally have one experience or the other on Stack Exchange:
1. A great place to get answers to your burning questions. Whether it's about programming, computers, languages, drawing, writing, or much more, you're sure to get the answer you're looking for within hours.
2 An elitist network of forums where you're sure to get downvoted for asking a question deemed "too simple" by the o' so holy members. Spend hours writing out detailed responses to people's questions only to get trumped by a couple of sentences. A toxic community that should be kept away from.
