NY Times Asks Twitter to Shut Down Paywall Dodgers

This effort by the NYTimes just seems misguided. Why don't media companies understand that the Internet is ubiquitous? There isn't a separate Internet on your iPad or your laptop or if you're going through a search engine or Twitter. It's all the same Internet from a user's perspective...why don't the media guys get that?

I don't mean this in a passive aggressive way. I genuinely want to know if someone can explain why they behave this way. There are lots of smart people at these organizations...Why are they using a strategy that so fundamentally misunderstands how people use the Internet?

It's just the traditional resistance of old business models to adapt to a new climate.

Don't name your feed "freeNYTimes", use their 'T' logo, and not expect to be shut down for trademark violations.

Wait, so the feed got its data from the NYTimes' own API, but they had to ask Twitter to shut it down on their end?
