Probably a joke, but you're too lazy to try for which file. Nice.

At first glance: "Huh? What the heck is that?"

I've been asking the cheap bastards at the Louvre to let me take the Mona Lisa home with me for over a decade ... no joy. I earned that baby!

You don't want the cover? Just the ORIGINAL?
I am with you on that.

I realise this is a joke but it does show the common misconception with digital copying and physical transferral. Stealing the Mona Lisa deprives the Louvre of the painting, but "stealing" the password for a zip file does not deprive the originator of their copy of the data, they still have it. But even so, having to pay for a password is kind of like a tease: "Here is the file but you can't use it, nyah nyah, nyah-nyah nyah!"

Granted. Unfortunately, an amateur restoration was performed first: (Google Image Search) Mona Lisa amateur restoration
