For the second time in two months, a court said Monday that an advertisement RJ Reynolds placed in Rolling Stone magazine broke the tobacco industry’s 1998 settlement with the states by using cartoons, and the company will have to pay damages.

The Washington state Court of Appeals overturned a lower court’s finding that content Reynolds produced for the 2007 Rolling Stone advertisement did not include cartoons.

This is still a story why?

Again as I said when this assinine and worthless lawsuit was brought in the first place, what's really the motive here? Rolling Stone isn't being sued, eventhough they played a huge part in this by letting the ad be run in the first place, no?

Absofuckinglutely!!

So fucking transparant, it's like polished glass. Sybolisim over substance, which is the hallmark of the whiny, uber-liberal, PC driven Democrat Party, which all "indie" bands seem to be members of, thusly, this is more about the "evil corporation" of Camel and nothing more.

This is why there needs to be a law to where the people bringing these worthless and assinine lawsuits are held 100% accountable for the ENTIRE cost of the trial - even going so far as to also be responsible for paying to the other side the monitary "damages" they are seeking, thusly putting them squarely into abject poverty where they so richly and deservedly belong.

I wonder how fast these fucking "indie" bands would welcome the very advertising they got, as well how quickly they wouldn't have a problem becoming part of the "industry machine" they claim to despise so much if they were held responsible as I've stated?

In a New York fucking heartbeat they would, again proving without a modicum of doubt their disingenous and intellectually dishonest bullshit behind this colossal waste of the judicial systems time and resources.

"Make the world a better place and punch an indie band member in the face...repeatedly"

"...and the recording industry STILL can't figure out why they're going bankrupt..."
