Best Buy Uses DMCA To Quash Black Friday Prices

Posted by timothy on from the wouldn't-want-to-tell-you-prices dept.

Sethb writes "It looks like Best Buy didn't learn from Wal-Mart last year, and has now invoked the DMCA in order to prevent FatWallet from posting information about what items they will have on sale the day after Thanksgiving. Hopefully FatWallet will stand up for themselves again, and Best Buy will be laughed out of court."

    "America has been based on consumerism for the last 50 years. Doesn't that make it part of American culture?"

    No wonder many people hold American culture in lower esteem than that of a petri dish...
