Court Order Is Not A Ringing Endorsement
A court has ordered a Chinese television production company to pay $256 in damages to a man who received more than 3000 nuisance messages after his mobile phone number was used in a police TV drama that was also released on DVD. According to 9news.com, the man, Chen Bing, 39, said he started receiving a stream of text messages in July 2004, after an on-screen villain spoke the number slowly, to allow another character to write it down accurately. The company said it made up the number from a staff member's birthday and did not mean to cause trouble.
