Users fume over Yahoo-Trillian scuffle

Yahoo has every right to BLOCK: To those who are complaining about Yahoo's actions, try to look at it from their point of view. They are providing a service and a product, both of which is their property. How would you like to have a third-party come along and use a service you were providing and make money from it? Im sure nobody would say "Sure, its for the sake of progress..." and all that garbage. Business is business. Yahoo are blocking these guys because they're making cash off of them. They have every right to do so. Granted, I think Yahoo should come clean and say its not about SPIM, which I think is rubbish, it's about them protecting their property. Do I wish there was an IM that covered all the different clients? Absolutely. But I dont think any single company should be jacking into another's services and making/stealing revenue from them.; Posted by: squashie Posted on: 06/24/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
