Then you may think about another interesting case:

I am not sure about today, but a few years ago, Sony did definitely do 
something real strange:

They sold CDs that flip the copy control bit in the subchannel data with a 
frequency of 9.375 Hz. This is an indication for:

"The creator of this copy is not the copyright holder".

So Sony sold something illegal. ..... Well, they did this in order to prevent
home stereeo appliances from allowing copies if the disk, but the SCM is 
intended to mark home made copies.

Sony did sell media that contain a marker for "Sony does not own the copyright
on this media".
