[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8362784, member: 6801228"] Deception is a funny term. Most people mean it in terms of "lying" telling you something that isn't true. But that isn't the only type of deception. There is a "bar game" I saw once on TV. Take $100 set it on the table. Have the other person hover their hand about fist high or so above it. The game is that they can't move first, but if they grab the money before you, they get the money. Thing is, if you set it up right (I may have the distances a little off) then even a 6 year old child can win every single game, because the reaction time of the average person means they can never move fast enough. And they proved it, with a 6 year old child making a good $500 on the show. You know all the rules, that doesn't mean that the rules aren't stacked to mean that you never come out ahead. And when it comes to the legal system and corporations and copyright law? Not even lawyers know all the rules without extensive research. [/QUOTE]
