Wal-Mart targets parody site run by Carnegie Mellon student

An AP newswire article today in the Globe and Mail reports that:

A college student was forced to redesign a website satirizing a foundation run by Wal-Mart after the discount retail giant claimed he violated copyright law by using graphics from the company's website.

Daniel Papasian, 20, of West Hartford, Conn., said he was forced to change his website — http://www.walmart-foundation.org — after lawyers for Wal-Mart Stores Inc. sent his Web host a cease-and-desist order last week.
