What was Re-Code.com?
It was a web site that allowed users to enter information about products they purchased into a database that was then publicly searchable. This inormation included, name, brand, store, UPC ID number, price, and packaging material. It used the UPC number of the product to generate a representative bar code in real time on the user's screen. The web site itself was made to look very similar to Priceline.com. A step through visual guide and a commercial that dramatized the act of switching UPC bar codes were shown on the site. It did not PROMOTE theft anymore than movies, books, art and other forms of media PROMOTE theft. We find it absurd to think that someone would visit our web site and then decide to go steal because of what they "learned" from Re-code.com.
How did you make money?
We didn't. We were just a few kids trying to find a voice. One of our major flaws was making our site and video look TOO PROFESSIONAL. We are not a corporation . It was not a scam to make money. We are not a threat to national security. We had absolutely no business model.
Why is it no longer around?
After pressure from the corporate thought police including a cease and desist letter and thousands of angry emails threatening such things as exile and eternal damnation, we decided to remove the site from the web. Many large global corporations were TEAMING UP to come after us. We should say we don't think Priceline.com was involved at all so we thank them for being good sports - after all they were one of our original main targets. We feel as though we did our job and we don't want to maintain a database forever anyways. People can be very mean though.
Are you going to jail?
We don't think so and we still don't know what law we broke, but as we all know by now if someone wants to silence you they will find a way. Legality was never the issue, lack of funds for a legal battle was. If you want to support our Legal Defense Fund, we have stickers and tshirts available with a donation. If you can tell us what law we broke we would love to hear it. We did not intend for anyone to actually steal items from stores. We were trying to poke fun and raise awareness. We never stole anything. Our video was a dramatization and we have the unedited footage that proves that.
