Again, ethics aside: How dangerous is it to fake giveaway copyrighted property like movies on blu-ray or music albums?

Peoples who do Shady & "Dangerous" stuffs are already set to take their own precautions ! and If you have to ask how much this is "Dangerous" , I don't think you are ready for that ! However, you showed in your previous answer to @Brian Alexander that you prefer misinformation than an "arrogant comment" as you call it.

Blackhat / Whitehat ; Legal/Illegal ; Ethical/Unethical .. those are 3 different things, you should work on your jargon or you'll get jailed in this case ! Good luck, and make sure to get back to us whenever you have a problem.

Don't think twice, dun second guess, do it now! One suggestion on blackhat, make it reasonable and sound legit, this is what most of the companies doing right now, selling fake hope, like most of the weight loss product on the market. Are they illegel? Nope.

If you ever watch Wolf of Wall Street you will get what I mean.

Sure, fake giveaways are cheating, but that's what most of BHW members who are into CPA marketing are doing. Free iphones, free coins, free whatever... and of course fake OGAds landing page. I wouldn't say it's illegal, but unethical, yes.

It's fraud, thus it's illegal. It's really not a matter of personal opinion.
Anyways, I'm not saying I'm against it nor that one would face consequences doing it; hell, swim has been doing it for the last 7 years. However, that doesn't change the fact that it is fraud by definition.

It's not what I was asking about, so you can stuck your arrogant opinion as far as you able to.

You literally said "what products are illegal" - so yes, you DID ask about the legality.
Spend an extra 20 seconds refining your question next time and you might get more constructive answers.

Such discussion is actually what I was hoping for. Therefore thanks for your contribution. It was noted

Dude, it depends whether its legal or not based on how you word it. Just like everything in law. If you say '' Fill out form here to win an IPhone 7 that is fraud and deception'', However if you change that wording to '' fill out form here for a CHANCE to win IPhone 7" it becomes unethical, but not illegal. A chance can be anything from 0 percent to 100 percent, with 0 more than likely being the percent your giving them. I think it's better that way anyway because you don't have everyone who fills out your offer waiting for their IPhone in the mail. Kind of like with the lottery, a lot of us buy tickets, but we don't all get pissed when we don't when because we have a very small '' chance '' hopefully this is what you were looking for.

Something like that, but not exactly. I definitely didn't named myself as a company that produces the product.

Reaching around platform TOS is one thing
Screwing people over is another.
It's just worrying that guys like you don't even understand the difference.

What is the difference between screwing people with fake iPhone giveaway and screwing them with fake music album giveaway?

If I really don't get it, explain it then
But yeah, it is easier to blame and write about "worryes".

Last year I've created a thread about morality and ethics of CPA. And not just me. People wrote that they feel no guilt, that there is a thing called "Stupidity tax" etc. And now I'm the only bad guy? Huh, you are just being funny here, guys xD
