Wal-Mart Parody Site Censored

The following site has been threatened and censored by Wal-Mart's lawyers. It copied the Wal Mart Foundation's site, and then rewrote the pages so they were satirical. Wal's lawyers went and sent them a cease-and-desist letter under a law called the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. What that draconian law does is restrict your right to duplicate digital data, and, as seen in this situation, potentially infringes on the First Amendment (it hasn't been tested yet). Satire is a "fair use" of material, but if you do it on the Internet, and you duplicate data that's copyrighted, the DMCA takes effect, and they can send a cease and desist letter.
