Man, ever since they sold out to Amazon, the one-day-one-deal sales machine Woot has totally fallen into line with the dictates of the man and/or Our Corporate Paymasters:
So, The AP, here we are. Just to be fair about this, we’ve used your very own pricing scheme to calculate how much you owe us. By looking through [the AP story on Woot’s acquisition], and comparing your post with our original letter, we’ve figured you owe us roughly $17.50 for the content you borrowed from our blog post, which, by the way, we worked very very hard to create.
Dare I say hoisted on their own petard? I feel a sudden and strong urge to buy some random bag of crap. Or, perhaps, a bandoleer of carrots.
