We’ve seen lots of marketing angles, but this one takes the proverbial cake: Karmaloop, a retailer of urban-style clothing, purports to have been “raided��? by Crooks & Castles— click the link, and you’ll find that the “Crooks & Castles” logo and tagline have “taken over��? the page. “Resistance was futile��? we’re told – “everyone knows you can’t stop the Crooks.��?
