I always felt like those were done for two reasons: 1) tell your clients/press that you have them 2) if you get caught tell you "we've told you not to do it.

I always felt like those were done for two reasons:
1) tell your clients/press that you have them
2) if you get caught tell you "we've told you not to do it. we're at no fault here"
From my personal experience they are not being taken serious if the client is important. Or are being taken serious in a way that you have people who help you out with that kind of shady business stuff.
