Effective 08 November 2003, any post to the Digital Video Industry News forum MUST be backed up with a LINK from a CREDIBLE NEWS SOURCE.

We're not running a rumor mill here. Unsupported claims are not treated as news; they're treated as noise and therefore will be removed as soon as possible.

Unsubstantiated "rumors" are not real if they're not verifiable and as such they constitute a serious disservice to our readers.

Policy alteration, April 2004: for those who do like to play in the rumor sandbox, we have a special padded cell all made up for you: please visit our Area 51 forum for all sorts of speculative meanderings. Just remember, it still ain't news!

Thanks in advance,
