FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA

Yes, the DMCA. Apparently they are not upset about the furniture itself but rather this site that he put up with pictures of his creations (pretty good work really). My favorite quote from the article, '...Avila clearly intended to operate a business from his website because he used the .com domain suffix, the "commercial level domain," rather than .net.' You just can't make this stuff up."

f*ck you mods for thinking the parent was 'informative'. 1) Our government has 3 branches, the post office is not one of them, however it is part of one of them.
Nitpicking motherfucker, you need to chill. Yeah, the word "branch" is a malapropism, but his obvious intent in using the word was to convey the notion that the USPS is a part of the federal government. In that regard he's absolutely goddamn right. Jackass ACs, man....
