funny taste in my mouth – is that victory?
So a while back I posted about an NPD study that prompted a reporter from Forbes.com to ask me “Why is WinMX the most popular music downloading service?” I kind of let it go because after I told her i thought her study was completely erroneus she didn’t want to talk to me anymore. Go figure, she must have spent a pretty penny on the report so I don’t blame her.
Ok, so on to the new developments. Yesterday, CNet Staff (no reporter wanted this byline – shocker!!!) used the study and reported it as news. It even got picked up and believed by slashdot. I immediately called bullshit, and several other p2p sites joined in. The difference here? Cnet actually responded, pulling the story from the homepage. If that’s not enough, John Borland writes a post on his Cnet blog supporting our position and bashing the NPD numbers. He has always been a good guy and stepped up here and did the right thing. Jeez, maybe these blogs are worth something after all.
