Marco put up a link to this article along with a suggestion to read the whole thing. Marco, here is the quote I liked the best:
“That, my friends, is what should be scaring NBC shitless, not my three

The execs at NBC who decided on making their new downloads expire after only a week are going to find this out very quickly. After all the hot air wasted on the Long Tail, you think people would have figured it out by now.
The New York Times did a good job this week by removing their paywall., but for every one step forward we take towards making the internet simply work, there are always two steps back.
