what about the somewhat recent case where people bought 120GB hard drives only to find out that the actual capacity was only about 112GB. They didn't know that hard drives were measured in gigabits and not gigabytes, and that small portions were taken up during formatting. No one put a gun to their head and forced them to buy the drives. But the court agreed that the packaging and advertising was misleading and awarded some money to them, I don't see anything different here..... There was also a suit by a group of vegitariens who were assured that McDonald's fries were cooked in veggie oil, only to find later that they used animal products in their oils. They must have been ignorant to not take a scoop of the oil to a labratory first to be sure.
