Just to let you know, Wal-Mart, Target, BestBuy and Staples have all just used the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) to force other hot deal sites to remove all messages listing these deals. I would presume this site will be next, and will likely comply due to it's previous problems with companys after users posted coupon codes.

This/these thread(s) probably won't be around for more than another few hours or day or so....

Well from what I've seen the deals this year aren't that great anyway so we wouldn't be missing much.

Can you plz tell me how DMCA can even be applied to something like this?? If I recall, all DMCA does is make removal of copy protection mechanisms on electronic devices illegal as well as distributing tools to facilitate this. What does any of this got to do getting a good deal on a mechandise? The use of DMCA here just doesn't hold up at all.

It's called these stores are justifying the money they pay to newspapers to print out all their special black friday ads.

So you're saying they'd rather pay for their advertising than get it for free?

Ahh, yes.... it's all clear now! :confused:

I guess that the fact that Anandtech apparently wasn't hit with DMCA notices while fatwallet was suggest that there's been a bit of a shift in where the "best" hot deals site is......interesting indeed.

I was hoping they would maybe have a really nice hard drive deal but the only one i saw was for a nonexistant hard drive (75 gig WD). Oh well maybe after christmas they will have one for me.

that DMCA only work if you actually print out the real ads
here people just saying what's on the ads and that's not violating copy right
