I guess we'll have to respectfully disagree on this one, Chip.
The reason I posted this was to try to get closer to the truth on a story that is going to spread quickly.
Note that I posted Brock's reporting, not the Brazilian guy's claim. When I first read the Brazilian's story on IP, I decided not to blog it. After all, there's a lot of bullshit complaining going on all the time. And the story was likely to spread whether or not I posted it on Boing Boing anyway.
But when I found out that Brock was looking into it, then I felt *that* was newsworthy, and that was why I posted Brock's investigations. Brock doesn't bulsshit, and it's less likely that Brock's digging will spread as fast as the Brazilian guy's complaint.
