[quote name='godsantagonist']this is sooooooooo amusing. how many personas on here are of an age to even vote, and yet they feel "compelled to boycott to save their brethren"? this is just like the vitriolic criticism of xbscene by neogaf for using their pics of opened 360's, but worse. worse in that the stolen material is copyrighted. cag would protect their name, podcasts, images and the people would jump on the bandwagon for cag. why not circuit city?
this is a new electronic age that the laws of the past weren't made for. this is new territory for everyone and circuit city is just protecting their own. again, this problem has been broached years ago with fatwallet. the pictures are copyrighted!
i hope that peaceful accords can be reached. also, hopefully a workaround can occur. perhaps just items listed with price but in alphabetical order, not the ad order.
ps it is rumored that sony, et al. are behind this...circuit city is bowing to pressure also.[/quote]
If this is all over copyright as you say then Circuit City would have no case. What speedy posted of their ads can be considered "fair use" and therefore CC would have no case. However this is not about that. This is about Circuit City being mad at speedy for "lost sales."
Also if you do not stick up for anyone then you will not have anyone help you in your time of need.
[quote name='Heavy Hitter']Yes, it is funny to witness all of this saber-rattling. This "boycott" will be a matter of convenience for most - when a deal comes out that has CC with the lowest price, many will still be there at CC with cash in hand.[/quote]
Some people may do that but I will not and I'm sure other people will not either.
