Is "asking a question what is the title of the song in a car commercial" became a habit among car enthusiasts?

These are all too common for car enthusiasts. When they watched a good car commercial on TV and later when they hear vocals on the car commercial, car enthusiasts start asking this;

"WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE SONG PLAYED ON A CAR COMMERCIAL?"

This question irritates me. It's so O.A. and degrading. Why would car enthusiasts like us want to find the title of the song played in various car commercials? For what, just so they can find it and steal it to hear it? Face it, most of the car enthusiasts from around the world doing this modus operandi every day.

This goes like this. Suppose that most of them watched the latest Hyundai Tucson iX Korean commercial, then they hear lyrics like something something "lipstick" and spurting out the question "what was the title of the song?" and replied "Lipstick by Jedward". After getting the answer, he/she will Google search for that song and want to find it on file-hosting sites to download that song from the car commercial without spending a little penny. Isn't that hurtful? 

There's also a case like this, when they saw the Japanese Lexus CT 200h commercial and hearing a beautiful song, boom goes the car enthusiast. The car enthusiast is asking what was that song but nothing replied until a few months ago, the song played on the Lexus CT 200h ad was released as a track from a certain album we know it as Boom and the title of the song was "Here I Am" by Maia Hirasawa. Boom goes the dynamite. They want to Google search that and snatch that song without knowing it.

Another situation I am familiar was the song played on the Nissan Juke commercial in Japan. In that ad, the commercial has the funky song sung by Orianthi and (my gosh, here they come) the song was Sunshine of your Love Juke Mix, included in the Japanese version of Orianthi's album, Believe II. Car enthusiasts want to find it as a torrent and get that song only.

What about tie-ups? The Mitsubishi Adventure commercial starring Parokya Ni Edgar which the song played was The Yes Yes Show, Japanese Toyota Isis commercials that has Miki Imai since 2009 and now Hideaki Tokunaga, Honda Zest Spark with Ayumi Hamasaki, Suzuki Solio with KAT-TUN, and some commercials which feature stars who sang the car commercial songs. Yes, car enthusiasts would go gaga for those and they are crude enough to get those car commercial songs without spending a straw penny.

Today's music industry is somewhat bright or so they thought but digital piracy is a common thing. People find ways to get songs without spending a straw penny. Mark my words,
CAR ENTHUSIASTS ARE THE NUMBER ONE CULPRITS BEHIND MUSIC PIRACY! 

When car commercials playing good songs, car enthusiasts unexpectedly Google search and steal it like a thief at the night.

When will this habit put to an end? Can commercial agencies responsible for the car commercials counteract against car enthusiasts by putting original BGM on car commercials? It's not forever and more and more car enthusiasts find ways to get those car commercial songs without wasting their wallets. Shame on them because they want to fuel their passion for cars at the expense of the music industry. They are ruining that more than ruining their spare parts and there is no bolt-on kit for searching it. When the next time you saw a car commercial and when you hear lyrics, you guys better shut up and don't ask an irritating question on what is the song played on the car commercials. Common sense and budgeting is the only way and Google searching, torrent-ing and others won't help you find the answer to your questions. Stay out and relax.
