By Ai Lung Nguyen - May 2010.
FASHION - Until recently there was a Facebook group called "Boycotting Peter Nygard" which was steadily growing. It had 202 members the last time I checked and it was less than a month old.
Unfortunately Peter Nygard's lawyers got wind of this and had the group shut down, claiming the boycott group was infringing on intellectual property rights.
So what does that say when a billionaire fashion guru can just come along and shut down popular boycotting groups on websites they don't even own?
Basically what it means is that we, the people, are having our democracy and free speech squashed by anyone who is rich enough. And in Peter Nygard's case he has whole teams of lawyers and people working for him trying to maintain his good name and keep his illegal dealings under wraps.
