FatWallet Strikes Back Using DMCA

Posted by Hemos on from the striking-a-blow-for-the-powers-of-good dept.

J. F. Miller writes "A recent Slashdot article reported how FatWallet had been the victim of a DMCA attack by several retail chains. After initially stating that they would not appeal, FatWallet was forced to take legal action when Wal-Mart further subpoenaed the name of a person who posted price information. They are accusing the stores frivolous copyright assertions and demanding payment under Section 512(f) of the DMCA"

    Why don't you vote your own representatives out? Is it really that simple? No, I didn't think so...

    The thing is that the USA already havethe DMCA.. And I'm not happy about that even though I'm Swedish myself.. But now when you already have that stupid law, anything that can stop a similar law in Europe is a good thing.
