Yeah, but the advert will confuse some consumers into buying a technology that has no future. It's probably negligent of Toshiba to promote HD DVD to naive unsuspecting consumers...
I think its more insulting to consumers that a whole industry will ignore a video player installed in a few millions homes. The gaming industry can support multiple platforms, I can't understand why the movie industry won't. ... well actually I do understand why : we don't live in a pro-consumer world. Consumers are suckers that must be exploited.
Just because they're losing doesn't mean Toshiba/HD-DVD is going to roll over for Sony/Blu-Ray. How is their attempt at consumer exposure negligent? It's just good business practice.
Now, any business hiring you as a consultant? THAT is negligent.
