Anyone try to submit this to Slashdot yet?
In my opinion, what the NYT realizes is most important is a reputation
of accurate and fair reporting.
You really believe that??? After all this election hubalub crap that went on. The whole purpose of newspaper is to make money. Sure they do it in the name of news...But MythTV as a sweet little project doesn't sell. Just think of how many hits they got when they sensationalized it.
And how far off the truth are they. I know the developers are very against file sharing. Yet there is a market for it. We already "share" our television recording around the house.
From the article "[MYTHTV USERS] have plenty of more mischievous company". Then it starts talking about file sharing.
Granted the article never left Myth in the clear, yet it didn't criminalize it either.
I agree that they shouldn't state MythTV create illegal file sharing however I don't think they have done anything out of the ordinary for a news organization. And that is telling the story people want to read, whether is fires them up or leaves them with a good happy feeling they want readers, and reader == money to them.
However after reading the letter to NYT, I too have signed it, but I don't really think they will make a big deal about it.
