In July 2021, YouTube set all unlisted videos uploaded before 2017 to private (unless the channel owner had opted out). In the weeks leading up to this change, Archive Team archived many pre-2017 unlisted YouTube videos. If this video was uploaded before 2017 and has gone private, there is a chance that a 360p archived version can be viewed on archive.org via the site's Wayback Machine as follows: 1. Enter the YouTube URL in the Wayback Machine form or click on the following link: https://web.archive.org/web/20210000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgmBFb4jfjw 2. Right-click on a blue entry in July in the calendar. 3. Click 'Copy link address'. 4. Paste the copied link address into your web browser's address bar and press enter.
Description: An Ad Council public service announcement (as part of the Campaign for Freedom) by advertising agency DeVito Verdi. The video was made after the 911 attacks, during a time when it had become more politically viable to erode rights and freedoms in the name of security (which has a tendency to erode both rights/freedoms and security). The video depicts a man asking a librarian if the library stocks some particular books. The librarian tells him that those books are illegal. Before the man leaves the library, he is approached by the authorities. The video then finishes with the following text: Freedom. Appreciate it. Cherish it. Protect it.
