OT: Zap2it Labs Email
Received from Zap2it Labs today.

------------------------------------------------
An Open Letter to the Zap2it Labs Community:

We at Tribune Media Services and Zap2it.com have been privileged to
offer a TV listings service to the open source and freeware
communities so that the many innovations in electronic program guides,
digital video recorders, and recommendation engines could continue to
flourish. This free-of-charge service is at risk, however, due to the
actions of several businesses seeking to exploit our generosity so
that they can make greater profits.

When you signed up for Zap2it Labs, you agreed to a contract that
states the service is available for non-commercial, personal use only.
A few commercial entities have chosen to ignore these contractual
terms in order to receive television listings without paying. We know
who these entities are; you know who they are.

These violations must end.

If you purchased a hardware or software product that receives its
television listings from Zap2it Labs' DataDirect or, indirectly,
through XMLTV, you may be violating our contract. It is critical that
you and your vendor abide by our contractual terms, lest everyone
suffer the consequences.

If you have any questions about this issue, or suggestions for how to
ameliorate the situation, please feel free to contact us at
mailto:labs[at]zap2it.com

Sincerely,


Jay R. Brodsky
VP/Technology
Tribune Media Services

-----------------------------------------------------

Well, they may know who the violators are, but I don't.

And since I'm not smart enough to know who the violators are, I'm
probably not smart enough to form my own opinion about this letter.
Do I agree with Zap2it and demand some heads be place on some very
large pikes, or do I start scanning for black helicopters and run
around yelling that Zap2it will start charging us because of the
"violators"?
