I guess that all depends on one's interpretation of truth.

It is unfortunate that, all too often, "The Truth" is sold by those with a financial interest greater than the cost of the truth. The doctors and pharmacists have culpable deniability because they are just going on what they were told and in the end, it is the patient that suffers.

Oxycontin comes to mind as a very recent example of this behaviour, and I'm sure when all is said and done, this guy will walk away paying a fine that is but a fraction of the profits he made.

On the other hand, who is really stupid enough to buy drugs over the internet? Might as well buy them on the street corner and save the shipping costs.

I barely trust most web-service providers with an email address that can be closed/blocked/changed with little cost or effort. Satan will skate before I start giving out my mobile number!

Real old timers remember back before QR codes and are more likely to suggest something like IPoAC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149

It still only has a resolution of 1KM per pixel and the chromatic aberration is terrible.

actually the value of articles confiscated is not entirely wasted as those articles have founded a flourishing "surplus" industry:

The sad fact is you are probably not far from the bullseye on that one.

How many of the people that downloaded a crappy cam rip and could bear to sit through it told a bunch of their friends what a great movie it was, and not only went out to see it on the big screen, but brought a bunch of friends with them?

What a great guerilla marketing campaign that would be for Hollywood to pre-release a "cam" version of the film on Pirate Bay--poor video quality, lousy sound, shakes and wobbles, popcorn rustling!

Wouldn't this count as Fraud, entitling FedFlix to damages, real and possibly punitive?

Thanks for the clarification. I though the sandwich planning board was a slab of wood that sat between my sandwich and counter-top graven with various condimentary flow-charts and cold-cut layering strategies.

Chinese factories turn out stuff like this all the time. I have traveled to the South Pacific and you can get a basic smart phone for $20--made in china. They won't sell in the western world for that because they can sell the same piece of junk for $120, or "bundle" it for $20 with a term contract. In most countires in Africa where average household expenditure is less than $300, cell phones are prolific--this certainly is not because people are spending a years worth of wages to buy a phone. Companies will charge what the market will bear.
