I just talked to a couple attorney friends of mine who have been looking over the free ipods terms of use agreement and all that crap....
Apprently there were a few things that weren't changed in the terms when the switch from ipod to hpod were made available, Gratis could very well be in some deep deep shit over this if people raise enough stink. From what they've told me, there are a few other agencies watching gratis very carefully to see if they make some mcuh needed changes in the terms agreement soon, or they're ready to attack.
I hope we're still getting free ipods.......

I dunno, I think this is a buncha B.s.
I don't see anything in the terms that has to do with the brand or anything....also I don't see why they would get in trouble, their branding is Free "iPods".......not Free "Apple iPods"
....just my opinion, i dunno hehe

Also, if this was true, I don't think that Gratis would be in deep shit anyways, they would probably be asked to change what needed to be changed, THEN if they didn't comply, they'd be in deep shit ;]

That's pathetic if true. This is why lawyers are hated my just about everyone. They're always looking for a way to sue someone.
Jerks.
Sounds like BS too, but there is a lot of shit you can get into. (You can't really just give stuff away... <3 America). We'll see.

Yep, its B.S. If you're going to be vague, don't bother posting this unsubstantiated tripe.

And one more thing... don't you think Gratis has their own lawyers who wrote those terms of service?
Plus, why would the switch from iPod to hPod be an issue? They didn't do it automatically - people had to consent by pressing a button and switching....

...not to mention the fact that Gratis clearly states in the TOS of all their free stuff sites that there is NO guarantee any item will be shipped to the customer for free. It is possible but if it doesn't the TOS covers that and they can't get sued.
I'm chalking this one up to I-think-I'm-so-smart bullshit on the part of your "attorney friends".

who cares if they will be sued. if you can afford broadband internet you can afford to by a 300 dollar ipod.

i pay 25$ for my cable internet, and i might be able to afford an ipod, but wasting 300$ on something that i will listen to once every 2 months is pointless...

I second that, muh broadband costs $40 a month, but I won't use the iPod tooooo much ;]

How the hell do you make that leap of logic? If I could afford one, I'd have one.

Umm...that doesn't make any sense.
And to the dude who started this thread...what you said makes no sense either
I think its a load of BS. Bet he's just bitter at Gratis for something. Bottom line, we're all still getting free iPods. Look at the photographic proof and the posts in the forums.

BS.
There are not "other agencies" conspiring against gratis. Even if they were, your "attorney buddies" would not know about it because that would eliminate the element of surprise from the lawsuit, which is really important. Besides, if they knew about it, it wouldn't be a conspiracy then, would it?
We all know that you are lying until you fill in "your attorney friends" and "other agencies" with real names.

Yeah, i have a computer, but still no ipod.
people can afford an extra $30-40 a month for broadband, but not everyone has an extra $300 laying around to drop on an mp3 player.

III. ORDERS
1. Receipt of Product
(a) Gratis Internet does not guarantee receipt of any product regardless of offers completed or referrals accumulated.
So... ummmm... Since Gratis guarantees us that we won't receive anything, can you sue?
If you send me $5 I'll send you an autographed picture of me
(side note if you send me anything I reserve the right to not send you anything)

If there were any truth to this, it would have to be something in the warranty of the HP iPod, that is different than the Apple one, and somehow conflicts with Gratis' TOS.
Send me a free HP iPod, and I'll check it out for you. ;)
