Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wham-wham-wham dept.

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?"

    I love the "deals of the day section" where they advertise a 256 meg stick of PC 2100 for $99! What a deal! Pricewatch has them for under 60 shipped. Gratned that's generic, kingston is available for $67, but this company should be sued for offering crappy deals, not DMCA violations.

    Who the fuck cares about DMCA. Its a huge wank party worth about as much discussion time as a doorknob.

    giFTcurs.. P2P that actually works. By the people, for the people.
