DontBuyMusic.com Sent Cease-and-Desist Letter
posted by scubacuda on Thursday August 21, @08:36PM
from the do-as-we-say,-not-as-we-do dept.
Digital Entertainment Wired: Last Friday, Macteens' DontBuyMusic.com received a cease-and-desist notice for spoofing BuyMusic.com. The parody site copied the format as the original site, rewrote the text, and redirected all clicks to the Apple iTunes website. How ironic--getting busted shortly after bringing attention to similarities between ads for iTunes and ads for BuyMusic. (I can't find the original site on either Archive.org or Google cache. Anyone have any ideas on how to see it?)
