UPDATE: Walmart Wins Because We Fumbled
Walmart’s lawyers issued a takedown notice for the market research we posted on March 6.
The letter, posted inside, is dated for March 8th, the same day the AP article confirming the data published. That’s what we like to see, synchronized watches.
To see the slides, go the original post or download from one of these two sites:

You have to wonder if they use the same “cost cutting” approach when they shop for lawyers.
This should definitely be forwarded to legal@weddingdepot.com for their analysis.
Ben it might be time to take a page out of Gizmodo’s book and do some commenter executions
I sure hope you manage to take that down as quickly as they got rid of those Nazi t-shirts.
What makes this even funnier is they’ve shown this slide show at conventions with reporters present. I know I’ve seen most if not all of it before.
A work isn’t more protected under copyright because it’s allegedly confidential.

WALMART SUX!
I think you could just rename this blog “America is Fucking Retarded” and it’d still fit perfectly.
…I’m still waiting w/ baited breath for a description of Wal-Mart’s “conscientious objector” category. Without admitting that they’re more evil than a gaggle of 13 year old pagent girls picking on some poor fat kid.
Maybe K&L|Gates can explain this in their next SLAPP letter?
“Wal-Mart reserves all of its rights in this matter, including but not limited to sending additional notices of infringement.”
there’s the strategy right there! they’re going to spam you into compliance! i bet they even started a mandatory letter campaign for all associates. by monday you’ll have 20 million cease & desist letters on your front porch!
god i hate lawyers.
