Whoever wrote the article also transribed the inteview I did with TechTV
(Apologies to those that already know this, I just read it). This is in
direct breach of the copyright held by the Information Society
Commision, and by RTE. He doesnt seem to have asked anyone for
permission, and regurgitated the content of our site. This is not an
example of prime journalism. We all copied in school, but its only the
real entrepreneurs who get away with it for a living.

By the way, Im willing to pay for a printed copy of the Magazine. I'm
trying to keep a record of where I get mentioned in things like this.
