Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info

zoid.com writes "It looks like a few of the big retailers have sent out DMCA notices to a few of the consumer deal sites. So now they are claiming that sale prices are covered under the DMCA. I would like to know what part of the DMCA states that you can not share the price of merchandise. Also, why would they want to stop this free advertising?"

    And my first slashdot post ever!

    Let's hear it for the idiotic anonymous cowards!

    Why the hell does Slashdot even have filters? They annoy me (short comments often submitted in under 20 seconds), and I often post more than twice in two minutes, and I've even hit the 50/day limit once.

    And yet it lets stuff like this through.

    Off topic, and trollish, but this really annoys me. Please use the term begging the question correctly.

    You know, this is the second time that I've been modded down for responding to a post that was either offtopic or analyzing the Slashdot moderation system. If you don't like the original post by the troll, that's fine. Don't mod legitimate posts down, though.

    My comments were both relevant and useful to the Slashdot community. /me in a huff

    I dont think I need to say anything here. The post numbers speak for themselves.
