maybe there's a copyright law in place, even though technically Speedy's posts aren't scans or even word-for-word, but I like CAG better than copyright laws, so f**k Circuit City. I wouldn't even go there if it weren't for the ads. And when I do go there, for example for the B2G1 XBL point cards, they don't even f**kin' honor it! They actually try to weasel out of sales placed in their own ads. Then they tell me it works for 12 month XBL subscriptions-- I believe that's the very definition of bait and switch. I really hope they lose this. and apossum is the coolest guy ever.
i dont know who would shop at circuit city to begin with, but if its getting people in their store, why would they take legal action. seems kinda stupid to me.
You told them not to shop their for trying to figure out who's breaking the law? If a company wants its news in the open, it will put it out there.People are dumb.
its not a suit, they are trying to get the identity of that person posting. nobody is being sued, they are asking the court to get that information for them.

...or works for a newspaper or a printer that produces the circulars, where it'd be easy to get one ahead of time.

that makes sense.

If you go looking for insider information, it is very much against the law. DO you think every week speedy "stumbles across" these ads?

Nobody shops there anyway. It's always a ghost town when I go in to get some clearanced games. No wonder they never have employees at the registers.
