Brandon, First of, I’m not a big blogger, I maintain a very small personal blog, and I regularly browse many sites for the latest info and then post the Best, and I always give credit to the source, one way or the other.

As far Niall’s, I’ve seen many posts on his blog as well net, but didn’t bother to post.

Why, in my opinion, He could have contacted you people, when he saw no accrediation on the pix’s. Rather it was made an un-necessary controversy, that’s ‘coz “Microsoft” only.

I hope, I’ve not hurt anybody.

DG…

Juan – This is my blog. If you don’t care about my opinion, why are you here?

I’m not really bothered that you don’t like my picture – I don’t think you’re my type anyway.

[...] 此事目前已经引起了广泛的讨论（参见评论），问题的焦点主要在于图片的版权问题了。按照Niall自己的解释，他的图片是属于CC2.0许可的，不能用于商业用途，因此为了教训一下微软这种侵犯版权的行为，他决定将其中的图片替换为臭名昭著的Goatse图片；而Brandon则认为（一位微软雇员），Niall以版权的名义开这种低级下三滥的玩笑是对版权保护的滥用，并斥之为“Punk”，要不可以在没有以任何形式（Email，评论或网页反馈）联系RSS Team的情况下做出如此举动？如果说他不允许那么做，并认为图片的版权完全属于他自己，那么图片中的主要人物Dean Hachamovitch是否同意呢？还有图片中出现的微软的徽标呢？ [...]

My comment went into queue as well and was never published. I was reading the Microsoft site with my 12 year old daughter who I am teaching programming skills. Right now she is interested in RSS so we read the site that got hit. What the hell was I supposed to say to her? This is behavior up there with the disgusting acts of Britney Spears. I just sit and shake my head

Whats worse is that you actually felt compelled to unsubscribe and post a rant about it, like your opinion matters. What a schmuck you must feel like…oh wait, there’s your picture, guess that removes all doubt.

Have to agree that it was rather disgusting, childish and immature but then he probably needed the pageviews and a mention in techmeme.

It’s worse. I commented and asked why he didn’t just call Microsoft and speak Sean’s name into the phone to talk to him. He worked here, he knows how the phone system works… And he knows Sean.

And the comment went into a moderation queue and never came out. I mean, come on.

How right you are.

It’s a sad that this kind of reaction is not really surprising, as most people always react the same way when the name “Microsoft” comes up.

I tend to forget how childish people can be.
