I haven't seen anything about this saga in mainstream news; I can't see that it's going to be won without getting papers on-side.

I don't really consider those 'mainstream news', I've only heard of zdnet - I thought boingboing was a public WiFi hotspot provider.

The story is probably a wider point about the fragility of online information, for which this is a mere significant event, but without that happening I just don't see the give-a-shit count increasing.
