No, its not about attribution.
oh no? i do recall you thinking i was somewhat nuts to not participate in sucking in feeds from blip.tv as mefeedia chose to do. now, maybe you didnt get to setting it up for fireant.tv, or maybe you decided i was right.... either way, make up your mind.
and you didnt answer my question. do you have a problem with mefeedia having thousands of RSS feed that were not submitted by humans... thus creating, as you suggest and speculate, a false sense of an active and popular community?
like i said, i dont have a problem and i am glad that mefeedia exists.
i didnt want to take that approach for vlogdir, but i think there is nothing wrong with doing this.
i ask again, do you have a problem with mefeedia sucking in feeds?
what if mefeedia was funded or looking to land some investment money?
i guess i am just trying to get your balanced opinion... and hoping that you are not putting down a potential fireant competitor.. like you recently did when you pissed on vsocial.

Its about falsely portraying people as members of your community when
they are not. Its about dishonesty and bad business practice.
I do feel that Veoh took the right steps to solve the problem in a
timely fashion, but I do not believe they had the right intentions in
the first place.
