A Revolution is the Solution
You know, this rather leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
To come along more than a week after you (widely) publicized this and then say 'look what i found' and crap all over your work so far on this is amazing, frankly.
and how on earth could he not have seen these stories about the myspace music hacks last week? especially as he must have been keeping an eye on the news to see whats hot and whats not in the land of myspace?
Well its annoying I guess, but more importantly, myspace have been given a platform to say "its all fixed". as we can see, this is clearly nonsense.
at this point, any and all bands on myspace are sitting ducks for as long as the hackers feel like it.
wow, this story has descended into high farce now.
From his blog - "(which had been hacked for at least three or four days earlier, because that's when we first noticed it... and someone just reminded me that PaperGhost over at http://www.vitalsecurity.org/
200...ontinue_05.html had noticed it for some other bands separately at a similar time or even earlier time)"
...wait, someone had to remind him that he forgot that you'd already written about it previously?
that fucking stinks.
Move along, nothing to see here. . . All is well. . . .Myspace is secure. . . whatever.
Personally I've never really liked these "social networking" sites. Then again I think I've become a bit of a reformed luddite (I've managed to destroy a second PC within a year, so this certainly qualifies me as a luddite!) desite years of computer experience.
That's very amusing - I just posted a comment on his blog about 10 minutes ago saying Paperghost covered this first... and so he's not displaying the comment but putting it in the main text instead.

if its any consolation, youre getting props from quite a quarters regarding this

to be honest, ive not seen something like this happen before. but youre right, we need to worry about that later and concentrate on getting myspace to fix up whatever is allowing these hacks.
I had major deja vu when i woke up this morning - theres the same story fromn last week all over the news!
i thought it was a new development, but seems like the only new "development" (if you could call it that) is that it was alicia keys page hacked instead of someone else slightly less famous.
typical myspace cant even fix that, from the looks oif it.
sucks to see your work get jumped like that, but rest assured it IS apprecated. i had quite a few bands on my friendlist who resent one of the many messages you posted about this on myspace. keep it up!
I just submitted this to his blog, if it doesnt get published then this is obviously trying to be swept under the carpet.
"You do realise Christopher Boyd discovered this last week (october 31st) and has already had quite a lot of airtime?

Its sort of strange that you've been looking at this but not noticed the numerous pieces of coverage on this story. It seems only fair that you should properly credit Boyd in this post, instead of the passing reference to him in your follow up."
Who the fuck are they trying to fool? The Alicia site is still compromised as of 10 seconds ago.
Roger is extending you an Olive Branch, Chris. Looks like he's realized his mistake and is back-pedaling a bit.
``Hi folks,
Evidently I owe Chris Boyd an apology.``
