Gracenote Founder Rewriting History At Wikipedia
An anonymous reader writes "Gracenote founder Steve Scherf is busy again in his attempts to rewrite history after his recent interview at Wired. This time around he is aggressively deleting or seeking removal of any content on Wikipedia that discusses the controversy behind the commercialization of the formerly GPL'd cddb. Slashdotters may remember when cddb joined the Bad Patent Club back in 2000. Gracenote followed up by filing lawsuits against its customers for trying to switch to freedb and for alleged patent violations. Are there any Slashdotters out there who know the facts about Gracenote — its history, its business practices, its lawsuits? Wikipedia needs your help."
You forgot "and one user will post comparing Slashdot to a Mandelbrot set".
Procrastination -- because good things come to those who wait.
If you think Fox News is the only source of "no facts whatsoever" on TV, you're stupider than you look.
Except that Wikipedia and its denizens are doing a huge amount of marketing trying to convince people that it is the most reliable source of information out there -- and it's being bought even more than Fox's claim of being "Fair and Balanced".
