of course that was what the news sites said the last time these guys were hauled into court and they beat that rap completely.
since that time product placement has become significantly more prevelant
canada recognized things like a piracy tax turns what would normally be piracy into a licienced behavior. Which means they had the potential to argue the exact same thing is true with product placement.

this is going to be an uphill battle for the procecution to win this one. They might be able to villify them enough to get them convicted on the first trial but that will not work when it is infront of a judge, instead of jury.
