Verizon Wireless Hunts Wabbits

Verizon Wireless filed a lawsuit against the film company behind “The Velveteen Rabbit,” accusing it of illegal telemarketing practices. The suit, filed late Tuesday, says Feature Films for Families made nearly 500,000 calls to Verizon Wireless customers from a 917 number. When answered, the caller played a recorded ad or read a script promoting the movie.
