As I pretty much expected, RealNetworks has closed off comments on its FreedomofMusicChoice blog, a few hours after it was launched…couple of readers e-mailed me on that.
One reader wrote: “Hours after launch and Real has already pulled the peition and now offers now way for ‘dialog and thoughts’. When I looked about an hour ago, there were hundreds of posts, with only a very few, (as in ten, maybe) that were even partially sympathetic to Real.”
Updates (via Micropersuasion)
– Real’s online petition for music ‘freedom’ backfires bigtime: A selection of recent comments from the first 333 signatures on the “Hey Apple, Don’t Break My iPod!” petition to Apple
– PRWeek reports on the how the Apple faithfuls unleashed their fury, and because of that RNWK replaced its petition with a more sanitized version.
