<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have been given DMCA notices regarding the
posting of "Black Friday" sale prices from the following companies:
<BR><BR>Wal*Mart <BR>Tar<B></B>get <BR>Best<B></B> Buy <BR>Stapl<B></B>es
<BR><BR>While we believe that sale prices are facts and can not be copyrighted,
We have made the business decision to comply with the dmca notifications.
<BR><BR>Our reasoning for this is very simple - Our mission is to serve
consumers - If we were to choose to fight this battle, It would require more
resources than are available - and we would no longer be able to serve
consumers. <BR><BR>I fully expect this story to be making news sites as early as
today. <BR><BR>Part of the DMCA Safe Harbor provisions state that in order to
qualify for safe harbor protection, we must have no knowledge of the infringing
activity. If we become aware of the removed content being reposted on our site,
We have no choice but to remove the content, or forfeit our safe harbor
provision. I respectfully ask your cooperation on this matter. <BR><BR>On a
further note - We have been, and will be in further contact with the EFF, as
well as ChillingEffects.org. </FONT><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
