Circuit City subpoenas CheapAssGamer for member data

[mwgiii]

CAG (Cheap Ass Gamer - Cheap Video Game Shopping, Video Game Sales and Video Game Deals: CAG.) is an excellent gaming website where members post game deals they find. It has over 100,000 members. One longtime member (Speedy1961) posts the Circuit City, Best Buy, & Target ads a week before they hit.

Circuit City has now subpoenaed CAG for Speedy's personal information. So far CAG is fighting CC.

Why becuase someone who aparently works for the company that makes the fliers is leaking sales adds before they'r supposed to be sent out to the news papers and other avenues of public distribution? You know that most of the companies that make these fliers have confidentiality forms that the employee's sign and that the company itsself signs when getting a contract to make the fliers right? Im sure that you would like it if someone started leaking your business information before it was supposed to go out.

either that or its a circuit city employee, when i used to work in kmart over 10yrs ago we used to get flyer 2-3weeks ahead of time in the store. if it was a good sale some employees, would then take an item hide one in a stock room somewhere and then when the sale rolls around they would guarentee that they could get one, without the need for a raincheck.

you've got to be kidding me right? Leaking Sales ads is a tradition on the Internets , pftt.... and saving money is a close 2nd , so this will go nowhere ( other than starting another website ( by the way there only like a Billon sites out there that post ALL major ads way before they hit papers):up
