That way zap2it would be able to use a mod_rewrite rule (or similar) to
blacklist offending *builds* of MythTV, such as specific commercial
releases, rather than all labs-feed users in general.
Ugh. So they get their User-Agent shut down, so they push a software
update to use the User-Agent the legal people are using, getting that
one shut down, and we all get shoved into an upgrade race. Yicka.
There are plenty of lawyers doing things that hurt this project, I'd
think this would the time one could be used to help the project, and go
after those that are violating the terms of the agreement.
