Yeah, I know, and I'm certainly happy for the open-ish web.

It just strikes me as pretty low on the "evil" scale compared to everything else that's been going on.

Do you remember the kids-for-cash scandal?

The only things more evil than destroying a nascent open worldwide communication platform that I can think of are some of the shit pulled by big tobacco or big oil. The examples you listed don’t come close IMO. Never heard of kids-for-cash though.

Ask the Netscape people how evil they think it was...
