Tolerated Fraud

It seems that advertisements hound us wherever we may go. We see them on the road in huge billboards, and even on the Internet in the form of annoying pop ups.

I can’t blame those companies for bombarding consumers with tons of information about their products. They do have to make a living. What I don’t understand and detest, however, are exaggerated claims. You would often hear or see companies claiming that their products are the best or that they were the first ones to come up with it.

Which company is telling the truth? That’s quite a difficult question to answer considering that most information on the Internet about a product comes from the producer itself. Companies that have similar goods often fight though, and these conflicts sometimes end up in lawsuits.

Maybe the question as to which company came up first with the service or product can be answered by looking at their arguments and the evidence that they’ve presented in court. Court records might be able to answer once and for all as to which corporation is telling the truth.
