Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info 792

a) Plan a massive sale on Black Friday in order to get customers to spend money at a specific retailer.
b) Spend major $$ advertising the sale.
c) Spend more major $$ on lawyers' fees and litigation costs when online consumer deals sites attempt to advertise the sale AT NO COST TO THE RETAILER. Cite the DMCA as your legal basis, because it's so broad that it must cover *any* type of content litigation, including actions against anyone who gives companies free advertising.
d) Either PROFIT after the Christmas season is over and give everyone a pat on the back, or NO PROFIT and blame 9/11 and those "evil" consumer websites who ruined your sales by giving you free advertising.
A bit of sarcasm in there, but point c) is what worries me. The *only* reason I can possible see for these retail companies wanting to NOT have their sales mentioned on these sites (for free) is that they fear a sales slowdown in the few weeks prior to the Black Monday sales kick-off, due to the large discounts offered then. But a sales slowdown prior to any advertised sales period is the norm in any retail industry, and is always accounted for well ahead of time. So this reason makes no sense.
This tactic sounds like it would benefit the mentioned retailer's *competitors* more than the retailers who are threatening the "offending" websites with legal action.

Question: But why is it called "Black"?
Answer: For the calendar year, most retailers are in the "red" on their books, or losing money until this date. This is because the majority of purchasing occurs during the Holiday season. The kind of turnout and purchasing that occurs on Black Friday sets the trend for the Holiday Seasons. The retailers will know after looking at their books on this Friday if they will end up in the "black" for the year, or profitable, or in the "red", losing money.

The reason they are doing this is to prevent each other from knowing the prices they use in their ads until the last minute.

For all practical purposes the "Safe Harbor" provision forces the presumption guilt upon act of the filing the complaint. That means that prior to any court cases, etc., the remedy the company filing the complaint desires already has taken place. The material is squelched.
Couple that with the deep-pockets vs small-operators problem of fighting a court case and the DMCA stiffles just about anything a company wants to stiffle, regardless of the merit of their complaint.
At the very least the "Safe Harbor" mechanism should be reworked. The company/person filing the complaint should have to go to court to get an injuction to get the offending material removed. If they couldn't even get an injunction, it is unlikely they would pursue the matter much farther. I think that would stop a lot of these thugish tactics.

There's a fun and easy way to fight it...
Here are the stores that sent the DMCA threats: Wal*Mart, Target, Best Buy, Staples
Some of you may be screaming boycott... but that won't work. There aren't enough people who even know what the DMCA is to make a dent in the sales of these companies... besides, they would just chalk it up to the bad economy and ask for a government bail-out.
I think guerrilla protests are the best way... especially since most of us have the friday after thanksgiving off... Just get a few friends together and have fun...
a few ideas:
1. Go to a store and cover up their prices with red tape. This would be especially effective at stores where the prices are on the shelves and not on the items.
2. Go to a store and have customers sign a non-disclosure agreement before they look at the prices. Explain that the prices are copyrighted and they can't tell anyone else what they paid for what they buy. After the store kicks you out go outside in the parking lot. After the cops ask you to leave go to another store.
3. Guerrilla theater. Perform mini DMCA plays in the offending stores... this one can be a lot of fun.
Be sure to have fliers explaining the DMCA and what these stores did and hand them out to the curious. Be creative.
Don't worry about getting arrested... just leave when they ask you to leave and go on to another store. It doesn't matter if your mini-protest lasts only five minutes before they kick you out... the store manager will still tell his district manager about your stunt, and maybe the store might change its policy.
Too bad there isn't a geeky activist group to organize such a thing. If this were organized to be across several cities, small groups of five or six people in each city would be very effective.

The stunts get attention of the 1) customers 2) the media 3) the management. If the media understands the issues they might report it. If the customers understand the issues they might complain. If the management understands they might change the policy.... any pressure from customers and the media might also help management to decide to make a change.
Picket lines of just five people are pathetic. If you hand out fliers, most people will be annoyed and ignore you.
Also, protests can be a lot of work... they should be fun to get people to show up and help you out. Handing out fliers while holding some home-made 'DMCA Sucks' sign isn't fun. Puppet shows are fun. Fake non-disclosure agreements (that are clearly parodies) are fun.

Time and time again, we hear some variant of "we believe we are right, but we don't have the resources to prove it."
The system no longer provides equal protection to all; "justice," as it were, can be purchased. Witness PanIP's [panip.com] attempts [slashdot.org] to bully [slashdot.org] web merchants [slashdot.org], or the OJ Simpson case.
The DMCA is bad; nearly all of us believe so. In the end, however, it is simply one item from the overly-expensive toolchest that is the american legal system. The average American can afford a hammer, but the mega-companies all have power tools. The legal system is designed to see who has the better legal case, but the sad fact is that many cases never actually get to that point; the entry level is simply to high. Joe Blow running his web site from his basement may have the best legal argument in the world for why he should be allowed to print the sale prices of items, but he cannot afford the cadre of lawyers to ensure that that aregument gets heard. Joe Blow might be right, but that doesn't matter; the company that opposes him can simply drag out the legal preceedings long enough to bankrupt him.
Ideally, when something like this happens, the defendant would be able to go before a judge and say "All I'm doing is reporting the facts," and the judge would say "case dismissed." Instead, they go before the judge and say "All I'm doing is reporting the facts," and the claiment says "that's not what my stable of lawyers say..."
The really depressing thing is that, even though I can see the system is broken, I really have no idea what to do about it. The system needs to be reformed, but I'm not entierly sure where to start.
Re:the system, not just the law (Score:4, Insightful)
I used to subscribe to this worldview; I still hold one form of it. I believe that if a person earns something, they are entitled to it's use.
Unfortunatly, how much you contribute to something, and how much you recieve for your constribution, are now two very different things. I have a friend who wrote a multi-million dollar program, but the company he worked for recieved the vast majority of the profits for his work. This is unfair.
How often does some uncaring yokel chime in with, "Yeah well, I know [Walmart] is loaded with cash and lawyers, but thats because they worked hard and made all the money, so they deserve an advantage."
This is where it gets sticky. I really don't begrudge WalMart the money they have earned. I believe that they have compteted, for the most part, fairly. The fact that other companies or people do not have the resources to compete in the market is not unfair, it's business.
This does not apply, however, to the law. The law is supposed to provide equal protection to everyone. While I do not begrudge WalMart thier money, I do begrudge their ability to mainpulate the legal system with it.
Before we can fix the inequality with respect to access to legal defence, I think you have to get more people understanding that being rich or being poor doesn't neccessarily denote what you contibuted to your society, nor it the world 'just' in this manner.
This is very true. Back when I was a bright-eyed high-schooler, I used to think that the Free Market (TM) magically rewarded the people who deserved to be rewarded. I now know that this is not always the case; in fact, it may very well be more the exception than the rule. In school, they teach you about the American Spirit, self-reliance, and the value of the individual; or at least they used to. But in the real world, it's all about corporate mergers and seeing who can throw the most cash around.
Too often you see people equating success and wealth with deservedness, so in many people's eyes, your complaints arn't a problem at all
That is, in some cases, true, but I am more disturbed by the facts 1. that so few people realize the advantage the rich have in the legal system, and 2. that so few people that do know, care.
Why they want to stop the "advertising" (Score:5, Insightful)
It isn't that these stores aren't competetively priced, as some have suggested, it's simply that the competetive pricing is only a lure - giving all the prices for hot items makes that lure nearly worthless.

Quit your bitching and do something! (Score:4, Insightful)
It's a lot easier to say that a law should be abolished than to actually get up and try to abolish it. Hell, even the most recent slashdot poll shows how little you people are really willing to comit to ending this law: 51% of people chose a form of the "No" option, and 31% chose the CowboyNeal option. A relavent state motto comes to mind: "Live free or DIE!" In other words, either do what needs to be done, or suffer the consequences... I have no sympathy for those who don't vote, only to bitch about the current administration, and I don't have any sympathy for those who bitch about laws, yet never take any action to end those laws.
