I don't doubt some of them knew they were endorsing it. Kim Kardashian would endorse the holocaust if you paid her enough, but I would guess some of them didn't fully realize what they were getting into and weren't smart enough to fully read the release.
After all, this is a signed release, but it from a few months back and we have no idea what he signed it for or what he was doing for them when he signed it.

seriously what exactly about
Quote:
1. mega upload said they owned the copyright to all the videos they used
2. will i am says he never gave permission to use that content in that way
it is possible for both statements to be true
your misrepresentation hides that possiblity
here the key point
will i am is only allowed to use DMCA takedown process for content that infringes on copy right (either full, or partially assigned) that HE OWNS

the validity of the endorsement doesn't matter to the abuse of the DMCA
universal was 100% aware they didn't own the copyright to the work
and they deliberately lied to censor mega uploads $3 million dollar viral campaign.
