I wonder if the site owner at price network got some sort of legal letter from best buy inc. threatening him unless he did pull the ads since he doesn't have an advertising partnership with these stores.

If I could make a modest proposal - Could he post that letter here so we can all see how bullying this company actually is?

We spoke with Best Buy Canada and obviously they would not like their flyers released early, which I think is understandable. The information will still be released before boxing day so we have complied with their request.

PN has the same advertising company as us, so they have the same partnership with FS as we do. Unreleased flyers are considered trade secrets and I imagine the guy who leaked them will get in a lot of trouble if they find out who he is.

We had to take the stuff down too, it's just the way it goes. :|
