IANAL, but...

...I'm wondering just how they plan to go about proving this.
MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL LAWS, Chapter 266, Section 102A 1/2 - Whoever possesses, transports, uses or places or causes another to knowingly or unknowingly possess, transport, use or place any hoax device or hoax substance with the intent to cause anxiety, unrest, fear or personal discomfort...shall be punished by imprisonment...

I mean, what everybody says - even the authorities say - what they were trying to do was promote a freakin cartoon. It might be a really bad cartoon. But that bad?

Of course there's also this definition to worry about...
...the term "hoax device" shall mean any device that would cause a person reasonably to believe that such device is an infernal machine.

Whatever. Meanwhile, of course, it's just the two "performance artists" who planted the infernal machines who've been "charged" with anything - as has been ably pointed out elsewhere, no way is the Commie pinko State of Massachusetts "charging" any of the corporations involved.
