Microsoft Admits That MikeRoweSoft Threat Is A Publicity Nightmare
from the make-it-go-away dept
Instead of sticking to their legal guns, it appears that someone with a little more business sense noticed all of the publicity over the whole MikeRoweSoft flap, and has decided it's much better to just make this go away. Thus, Microsoft is now admitting that, perhaps, they went a little too far in their legal threats to Mike Rowe, and are talking with him to come to an amicable agreement that will get this story out of the news as quickly as possible.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
