Blockbuster Sued Over Late Fees Claim

DesiVideoGamer writes "CNN has a story about Blockbuster's violation of New Jersey's consumer fraud act in which they made false claims in their "No More Late Fees" campaign. New Jersey Attorney General Peter Harvey filed a lawsuit today in hopes that Blockbuster would stop misleading their customers into thinking they could keep their movie rentals as long as they want without penalty."

    "Oh God! Won't somebody please think of the key grips?"

    It's things like this which make it really hard for me to feel bad for Hollywood and its ilk when they complain about media piracy, because every single time they talk about dishonesty or theft or what-have-you, things like this echo in the back of my mind.

    You can get the same kind of deal if you arrange your own financing ahead of time, too. (Although you pay interest on the loan of course.)

    no no no, that's illegal. You're thinking of credit cards, not car loans. The only reason credit cards can get away with it is because they're all based in south dakoda (or was it north dakoda?). They got rid of their laws on that point specifically so they would become the credit card capital of the US, sort of like a financial version of what deleware did for incorporation.
