I wish they'd be more honest in the first place and sell them as 931GiB drives, or make real 1TiB drives, but the marketing literature does at least explain their definition of TB, GB etc.
Maybe it wouldn't be lying if they redefined 1KB to be 998 bytes. I vaguely recall there being an xkcd strip suggesting something similar...
