Disclaimers. Peter Shank barely has a website, but it has one of the most extensive collections of disclaimers I've ever come across.

No animals were harmed in the production of this file.
All models over 18 years of age.
If condition persists, consult your physician.
Freshest if consumed before date on carton.
Prices subject to change without notice.
Times approximate.
No postage necessary if mailed in Singapore.
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.

I bet if we add up all the disclaimers and qualifiers out in the world we would find that no one ever actually says anything.

Cynical? Me? No...

Two good to be true? 12 CDs for the price of one. I thought the Napster-obsessed Major Labels didn't like free music. Perhaps there's a nasty surprise in store when the service charges arrive.
