Walmart has taken action against an activist site that encouraged people to name their own prices for items by printing off fake barcodes and sticking them over originals.

“Re-code.com still provides a database of bar codes that can be copied and pasted into printing applications. It suggests, for instance, that users stick a label for Nerf balls over the bar code on a box of rifle ammunition.”
