Wal-Mart Warns Operator of Gottadeal.com Website

Wal-Mart, clearly annoyed that some Web sites are leaking its much-anticipated Black Friday circular weeks in advance, is threatening legal action if those sites do it again this year. Brad Olson, the founder of Gottadeal.com, a Web site that markets itself as one of many "official Black Friday deals sites," told CNNMoney.com that he received an e-mail Wednesday from lawyers representing Wal-Mart warning him against "improper release" of the No. 1 retailer's Black Friday sales circular.
