Wal-Mart supporting piracy?

It seems that our good friends over at Wal-Mart think that supporting the "illegal" act of downloading movies and music from the internet is a good marketing strategy. A report on IMDB News yesterday says that the nation's largest (and most notorious) retailer has been purchasing advertising on the Pirate Bay, one of the largest bit-torrent tracking sites on the internet.

Do they honestly think they are going to get all the people that go to the Pirate Bay to get their movies and music for free are going to jump up and run to Wal-Mart to pick up the latest box set?

Quite hilarious in my opinion.
