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."

    ...Can I sue my university for even printing them? ;)
