Circuit City Stores, Inc. v. John Doe, A.K.A. Speedy1961
In July 2007, a user with the avatar "speedy1961" posted information from an upcoming Circuit City Sunday newspaper ad flyer revealing a $100 Playstation 3 price drop. Weeks later, Circuit City subpoenaed CAG Productions, LLC in an effort to obtain speedy1961's identity. [5] To fight Circuit City, CAG hired an attorney and filed an Objection and Motion to Quash the subpoena.[6] In February 2009, after declaring bankruptcy, Circuit City filed an order of Nonsuit, officially ending the matter, keeping "speedy1961's" identity a secret.[7]
Charity Fundraisers
CAG runs community raffles which raise money for the Child's Play (charity). In 2009, CAG raised $42,710 which brings the total amount raised since 2004 to $118,128. In 2009, CAG raised over $5,000 for the Extra Life Charity.[8]
