Pepsi/iTunes Commercial

The Pepsi/iTunes commercial that started airing during the Super Bowl has a disturbing slant. I wonder if anyone told the kids featured in these ads that they weren't sued for downloading music. They were sued for serving out hundreds of songs to anyone who found them on KaZaa. Where they got the songs from was largely immaterial. Not that most people distinguish between uploading and downloading...

It's also disturbing that the RIAA is continuing their effort to alienate their customers. They didn't help produce the ads, but they agree with them. I guess they have nothing to lose.

Comments

While on the subject, I thought this was kind of cool.
