What I find hilarious about it, in an ironical way, of course, is that BW has just guaranteed itself more bad publicity. Most people tend not to side with six-hundred-pound gorillas.

And they've got no case at all here: it's a very clear-cut First Amendment issue.

Wonder if anyone has ever heard of Pyrrhus?

I have. He won a battle against Rome, but lost most of his troops, then later, died of the gum disease which bears his name.
[Okay, I made up that last part.] ;)

For GNET to give in to batguano's demands is weak, lame, and WRONG. Not surprising though.

I am writing to the PR depts of companies I hold, requesting they use one of the other wires for press releases.

...Mezz, certificate-carrying FBN shareholder.
