Yes, it is. In a way, it's cyberspace vigilantism. Enforce your code of conduct by setting up little traps. Then again, there are those legal loopholes. One person slips by and reveals the dirty little secret these labels are involved in. One case gets through, and that means that these companies are in big trouble. I'm talking lemon car scandal trouble.
