Pretty obvious that Ivy reads the board because she posted in the thread. However, I do believe if you notice at first, no site names were mentioned etc. I don't see anywhere in the initial posts at all.. Seems to me there was a fair bit of miscommunication, a lot of which could have been simply avoided by her asking permission to use the content. Chances are that she didn't realize people would have the issue they are because SHE doesn't, but her business model doesn't work for everyone. Chances are it was a complete oversight on her behalf, but I also believe that a program that spends tens of thousands of dollars on exclusive content should have the right to defend that, especially in the best interests of their other webmasters. Hopefully all parties can meet somewhere in the middle.
As I said before though, it could just as easily have ended up as litigation. It didn't, so chances are people can still make good by proferring apologies? If that's hating, cuff me :P
