interesting interview with Jim Bannister on NPR marketplace Friday wrt file/media/ip sharing .. here's a quote i like.

"giant institutions take time to change .. but to this day, the approach
to file sharing and "piracy" [or cross-posting APIs] is a slash and burn
approach - take them to court first .. as opposed to trying to
understand the differences in how people are using media today ..
there's no way they can stop it by suing their constituency, they should
be embracing - they have all the resources in the world to study and
understand and test - they just haven't.  the first reaction is to pull
up the drawbridge and stop whatever is doing it until they can figure it
out .."
