Guess this probably means an end to those late night CNBC BitTorrents. Sigh.
She's reportedly been paid big money by the news organization to act on her strategy for preventing TIVO users from pirating their news feeds..... by making people stop watching!

Now we get to hear this idiot wind bag on TV even more? On a regular basis?
$5 says it was a settlement. The RIAA caught CNBC people sharing music at work and rather than sue the pants off them, they offered her a show.
So Orrin Hatch was auditioning for the job when he said the RIAA should be able to "destroy" peoples computers?

Not only is she getting a promotion from shill for record labels to shill for GE and Microsoft, but also she'll be pleased to know that there is a 0% chance of her show ever being traded on p2p.
