They LIED about misleading. They LIED when they call it 'entertainment'. They LIED when they said 'we're sorry'. They LIED when they said 'CD's will last forever.' They LIED when they said Britney was the best thing since sliced bread. They LIED when they said there were no bigfoots (bigfeets?) on Mars. They LIED when they said 'bigger, better, tastier.'

It sounds like a weird farce. I can't even imagine how they come up with even slightly accurate figures on how many movies are being 'illegally download', let alone by a specific group.

Citrusfreak, no matter how clearly they appear to have been lying, they'll never say so unless forced to do it. My impression is that it would open the door to additional legal action. Gary61, not all advertising is lying. We have to remember that fact. It's what allows us to be indignant about the ads that do lie. GD23, you have a great future writing DEA press releases....
