Typically in touchy PR situations like this, my experience has been that the company and the PR person will work closely in order to ensure something like what you explain doesn't happen -- because in the end, that could look even worse. Either way, you're bringing up a good point. Ben, good point.

R. question? It seems that they could argue that she was incorrect, but that when they released the official statement citing "copyright concerns" they were acting under the TOS, not the DMCA, and therefore their official P. R. has their story right. When Heather posted the comment about DMCA, was she in a position to give an official statement on it, or was she just a customer service rep trying to field a P.
