Best Buy Hands Out Cease & Desist Letters for Christmas

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the no-press-like-bad-press dept.

arrenlex writes "Improv Everywhere, a NY-based comedy group, was served a Cease & Desist notice by Best Buy for selling 'improv everywhere' shirts modeled after the blue Best Buy uniform. But that's not the interesting part. From the blog post: 'Here's where the story gets interesting. Today, Best Buy sent a C&D to our friend Scott Beale over at laughingsquid.com threatening legal action unless he removes the blog post referencing our shirts! They're threatening to sue someone for just covering the news story of the shirts!'"

    I'd point out bestbuysux.com right now but unfortunately it's not around anymore. It was such an awesome resource of testimonials and other crazy things Best Buy was doing.

    I've only once been mistaken for a member of staff... it was in this shop. It boosted my ego for the rest of the afternoon :-D.
