This is precisely what is wrong in the US today. Children witness their parents and others telling lies during their impressionable stage and grow up thinking that this is normal. Everywhere we look we see lies and hear lies. Advertising is only the tip of the iceberg. Politicians lie to obtain office and continue the practice until death. What was once considered an out right lie is now the new baseline for the truth.
If you read a new story on six different networks you will receive six different versions even though they obtained the information from the same place, for instance the AP. I guess Christians are failing in bible school these days or they have all decided the hocus-pocus is bull.
Not Illegal To Ask Your Fans To Spam A Judge... Though, Still Not Particularly Smart
The bias in this story is with the author Mr. Masnick. People have letter sent to judges on their behalf all the time and this is consider a common practice. Therefore how is this conceived as something taboo? Mr. Masnick research requires additional work and if he considers himself covering a story, only present the facts and save your ass hole and opinions for someone who cares. The judge’s bias is evident by having his decision overturned and the author Mr. Masnick opinion not fact falls by the way side as well. This is a great article if not for the non founded spin of the author.
Should Companies Have A 'Privacy' Right To Shield The Release Of Damaging Info?
This is nothing new to me corporations are just being more open about how they control our government. If you apply these same laws to a regular John Doe they will not apply. If an individual steals something and is caught this person pays a price. However if a corporation is caught in the same manor the corporation is treated as a corporation meaning no individual is to blame. My point is corporations are granted privileges of a personal nature and of corporate. Why do corporations have more legal rights than a real person? The answer is elementary; the people making the laws are the same ones benefiting from them. Our government is not of the people it is of the corporations and we are mere ponds in the scheme of things.
I completely agree with the majority of the comments and add an additional tidbit of information. I also believe with any organization being federal, state, corporate, private, etc. that if a failure to prove your case at minimal they receive reimbursement of legal fees. Yes, I am saying every time even the state or government tries a person and there action are unsuccessful they must at a minimal repay legal feed. This is the only way I can think of to equal the playing field.

What if a hacker uses the technology to stop all cars? This will be quite amusing at rush hour either to or from work. Allowing other control over you or your products is crazy.

I read the 28 comments and some of them were quite good. I totally agree that receiving compensation for endorsements, mandate full disclosure. Corporations spend billions on advertisements per year and without results, this would stop. Are people stupid, you bet? However, these corporations secure top scum-sucking parasites A.K.A "Non ethical scum-sucking parasites psychologist" that mind screw the lower intelligent animal A.K.A the average shopper.

Anytime someone is providing ones personal or professional opinion concerning advertising, full disclosure should be required. One person mentions the mp3’s provided to reviewers. I guess they either are two young, or have forgotten how record labels bribed radio station and DJ’s too only plays their songs. I also think people have forgotten if something repeated enough, it becomes true.
Corporations are employing top psychologist and deploying their skills on consumers. From what I have read on theses sites, consumers are ill equipped and unaware of these practices. For instance, people are purchasing logo products that perform corporate advertising. Any person with cognitive process would never pay a corporation for the privilege of advertising their products. Therefore, my vote is yes solely because these asinine people require as much help as possible.
I guess the author of this article is over looking the fact that Google intends to track every book and page you search and read. I refuse to allow anyone access to my reading preferences simply because it is free. I guess for some selling their privacy for a few freebies is OK.
The intent of state and government is to blanket us with laws vast enough to confuse. After all, there is no excuse for ignorance of the law. Even lawyers have no idea of all the laws on the books. Our country has the best laws money can buy. No matter what you circumvent, such as including intent, they will simply change the playing field. The states and government treats the people and secondary to their success. Conclusion, laws may get you arrest however it is the stupidity of the jury that locks you up.
It seems that no one has read the first sale doctrine. Here is a link to the Electronic Frontier Foundation EFF and the information you seek. The information listed below was taken from that link just to give you a taste.
First Sale, Why It Matters, Why We're Fighting for It
by Fred von Lohmann
The "first sale" doctrine expresses one of the most important limitations on the reach of copyright law. The idea, set out in Section 109 of the Copyright Act, is simple: once you've acquired a lawfully-made CD or book or DVD, you can lend, sell, or give it away without having to get permission from the copyright owner. In simpler terms, "you bought it, you own it" (and because first sale also applies to gifts, "they gave it to you, you own it" is also true).

Our government under the USA PATRIOT Act is recording every conversation, internet transaction, bank transaction, street camera and so on. Moreover, the thing is, no one seems to even give a shit and chime in on something like this. Until people stand-up and fire these so-called representatives and take part in their country you get what you deserve. Americans have fallen into a heaping pile of shit and unfortunately, the majority of them are enjoying it.
