Discussion:
What is the name of your state? Louisiana
I have a website that allows viewers to share/post discount codes for online retailers. This is open to anyone (kind of like a code forum) and I do not verify the validity of each code before it is posted, though I do go through it regularly to delete dead codes and such. I have a very prominent disclaimer stating that neither I nor the retailers have authorized the code, which may be invalid for a number of reasons. However, I know simply including a disclaimer is not always enough.
I had an irate retailer demand that I remove a code of theirs before they took legal action. They acted as if I were violating a copyright law. The code was published in a current edition of Lucky Magazine, which did not mention anything about copyrights. I quickly removed the code (and have removed anything about their store if someone ever posts) and I have not had a problem with them since. However, I was wondering if there is any validity to the threat. I know there are plenty of other code sites out there, but perhaps they are all affiliated with the retailers.

Double post...that is extremely rude.

If you are referring to this post:
They are actually two different questions. This is a problem I had several months ago from another retailer. I just decided to post both questions at the same time.
