Newspapers have fallen on hard times of late. They are cutting back and laying off people at an alarming rate. So what do you do when your a you're a troubled media dinosaur struggling to find your way on the Web?
Well if you're the New York times you send Apartment Therapy a DMCA take-down notice demanding removal of a long list of blog posts containing images from the Times (in posts about relevant Times articles). This is such a foolish move, why would you want to discourage traffic to your site? Especially given the fact that newspapers, even the Times sales are down. Part of the reason newspapers have fallen on hard times is beacuase they have been so slow to embrace the Web as a viable tool. Shame on you Times, however I do love your Freakonomics blog.
