Circuit City Subpoenas CheapAss Gamer and DVDTalk

Posted by Zonk on from the battening-down-the-hatches dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A poster on DVDTalk and CheapAssGamer has posted the weekly ads for Circuit City, Best Buy, and Target ahead of time for the last few years. A few weeks ago he confirmed that there was an intended price break on the PS3 and stole Sony's thunder from E3. A Circuit City ad was used for confirmation. Circuit City has threatened DVDTalk and CheapAssGamer.com to give them personal information about the poster. CheapAssGamer has hired a lawyer and is going to fight. The story is similar to the Black Friday ads being posted early and FatWallet fighting back."

    Yes, quite.

    When will people get it through their thick skulls that just because you don't agree with something, it's not necessarily a troll or flamebait.

    Personally, I think Troll and Flamebait are useless and just cause trouble. They provide nothing but hurt feelings and arguments, when overrated, offtopic, wrong or unfunny would suffice. /. really does need wrong and unfunny moderations though.

    How about a (+1 Everyone Is Special) moderation?

    I wish there was a way to go back to your own old posts and mod yourself down.

    I have re-read posts of mine and thought, "What the hell was I thinking?"
