http://frontburner.dmagazine.com/2008/01/25/open-letter-to-news-directors-of-channels-4-5-and-11/ FrontBurner® has been called the best blog in Dallas (repeatedly), a snarky celebration of ignorance, and a daily conversation about Dallas among the editors of D Magazine.

You guys at DMag take the liberty to "borrow" information off of Channel 8's website and you give them absolutely no props. Then, when they ask you to take it off you get angry and call channel 8 names and get the other 3 networks to donate their info. Now, you are giving 4,5,11 all the credit. Sounds like a great way to do business to me. I hope DMag doesn't mind if I rip off all the "pertinent" info from Dmag.com and post it to my mediocre website, in which my views are totally different than Dmags. Are you kidding me?

If I am a company, any company, I would make sure not to be on the internet. That may lead to crime. bandwidth would be an issue too. I have to pay for something to show people something about something I do. still, its cheaper than paper. but its gonna mean I have to spend money. yea, hotlink, stealing, web.
