CFDJ's Hilarious Exit

ColdFusion Developer's Journal is no more.

The whole "Silverlight DJ" replacement thing aside, CFDJ's current homepage is a perfect illustration of how the entire publication was run in a Bad News Bears style: it reprints content from their own "Author Blogs" calling the magazine a piece of **** (literally).

If anyone at SYS-CON objects to me reproducting their content on my blog, I consider it fair use under the principles of critcism, comment, and news reporting, unlike their repeated use of my copywritten content for commercial purposes without my consent.

Joe,

We (that is, those of us that have been your fans and supporters for years) always knew that the CFDJ rag couldn't go on forever with nothing more than recycled content. Sorry to see that they never really came clean on their repeated misuse of your content, but glad to see that their faulty business model finally demonstrated its true value to the market.
