Sorry to bump it again, kids, but I do believe I have them by the balls now... have any of you ever heard of the Lanham Act?

Essentially, it's a Federal statute that explicitly prohibits false advertising (the basis of my case, along with a side of Right to Privacy issue) and requires no "actual loss" to constitute injury. Let's see where it goes...

I responded to the email with the understanding that it's illegal for a sweepstakes to explicitly tell you you won if you didn't. Since I figured that people running a sweepstakes would know that, they were telling the truth. Turned out they either didn't know what they're doing is illegal, or they just don't care.
