   Learn to Read

   Are you serious? Adam made an update to that post ON THE SAME DAY THE POST WAS MADE that called out that the guy was a fake and not the real crackulous creator. And that was days ago.
   
   Next time you want to crap out a post to get something eye-catching in your headline, read the entire damned post. If children can do it, you should be able to as well.
   
   Bad enough you're scraping days-old news, but then you scrape only the top-part of the story and then don't even bother to read the full post which had all the full story in it.
   
   Welcome to one less visitor/RSS subscriber due to your laziness and incompetence.

   I had the post open in a tab when it was first sent in, and just got around to writing it up. Didn't realize it had been updated, and I've now updated the post to reflect that.

   Yup. Sorry about that.

   Not scraping days old news. As I said, I had it open, and just got around to writing it up. Sorry you feel so strongly about this. Didn't realize a blog post could be so offensive.

   Fair enough.

   I'd rather read a blog that is not afraid to correct itself than the MANY out there that do not even bother... in fact, I'd rather read a blog that corrects itself than read big media because they NEVER correct themselves on relatively small issues like this (and they are always days old!).

    Re: Re: Learn to Read

    I respect that you've taken responsibility for your post and the obvious blunder. I'd say that you should take down the post as well, but it's kinda nice to see that you even let people see the mistake and the correction, all while standing your ground and knowingly admitting your error. That takes guts, sir. You may have lost some readers, but I'm certain you've gained a few, and made a few others feel better about reading your comments.

    "scraping days-old news"

    I didn't realize this was a phone booth-knocking-over-reporter-in-a-hurry type of site. My mistake, I guess.
    
    Well, then scrape this.

    Re: "scraping days-old news"

    IP is over-rated as business anyway, i mean , an idea is great, no application on idea = zero value for idea
    
    just kicking someone who applied same idea without influence or whatsoever from original patent holder, does not mean infringement, specially when so many "new" ideas are based on a combination of old ideas in a more practical way
    
    so let's just hold on that line from people who lost due to real IP theft (reverse engineering an existent product, etc) and dropping the music issue, that's old business gone rotten) and i guess that trillion does not apply no where close to justify the political reprisal of the issue

    I'd just like to know how they come up with these figures, among other things.

    For anyone who's read this blog for any appreciable period of time, this is pretty much vintage Masnick, he just sees a story related to IP theft and has an instantaneous, Pavlovian reaction. Soooo typical.

    Heh. This interests me. What, exactly, is that pavlovian response that you think I have?
