Delta shuts down Boycott store
SNP says Cafe Press has shut down the Boycott Delta online store, following a Delta Airlines lawyergram alleging trademark infringement.
The store sold t-shirts, coffee mugs and stickers affixed with the BoycottDelta logo, allowing activists to show their support for the campaign. The BoycottDelta logo consists of an all-seeing eye within a red and blue triangle. All BoycottDelta products were sold at cost. BoycottDelta founder Bill Scannell expressed astonishment with Delta’s move. “Delta Air Lines has been deluged with thousands of emails and calls from their customers over the past week complaining about their CAPPS II testing and the best Delta can come up with is to say ‘don’t wear a t-shirt’? This is corporate arrogance at its finest.” Over 200,000 unique visitors have visited the BoycottDelta website since it went live on the 3rd of March. Alternate sources of BoycottDelta protest tools are being identified. A new on-line store will be launched shortly. – Security News Portal, CAPPS II Collaborator Delta Airlines forces shutdown of the Boycott Delta online store.
