You mis-quoted our press release leaving off crucial closing information:
"which is bracing for a nearly 12 percent drop in store-based and online rental revenue for the quarter... DUE TO ILLEGAL P2P FILE SWAPPING AND DVD COPYING."
We trust this was an oversight on your part and will not happen again. Further mistakes on your part will result in the discontinuation our our organizations to provide you with news-worthy factual press releases and will result in litigation by our lawyers.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.
