When companies pull pranks like this, what's the risk of legal ramifications? I'm all for ingenuity in harmless pranks like this, but I've not heard much on what they're risking legally by doing so. Trespassing?

I can imagine that suing them for trespassing after dumping a chunk of ice with a 'paypal freezes your accounts, join wepay' message embedded in it (as well as a few hundred bucks) would help wepay more than it would hurt them. More free press! And a much longer running story.

  True, though I would think Moscone would be the one with a claim against WePay for trespassing rather than Paypal.

    Yes, but the press headline will read "WePay sued for trespassing on PayPal conference" or something to that effect.

      No, it won't. The press doesn't care about random suing of small companies, because people don't care. People like to read about a stunt, though.
