Is HD DVD an immoral product?

[claytonpc]

I saw the super bowl HD-DVD commercial and I thought to myself, "Boy, I hope people don't get fooled into buying that format."

Then I had another thought: I think a commercial for a product that is doomed is nothing more than immoral. I quit a job that wanted me to improve the company website for the purpose to draw in investors. The company was not making money and had a flawed business model. Basically, the company was existing on investor's investments and they knew it. I said that it was immoral to take people’s money with no intension to give them back a return. The execs just wanted another month’s payroll., so I quit. This HD-DVD commercial is no different. They are looking for people with no inside knowledge and invest in a format that will lose to blu-ray. I bet the HD-DVD people are laughing all the way to the bank.
