The author gave users two weeks of advance notice. Some are (rightly) pointing out that this doesn't give the users much time to react, but would a three-month or six-month notice really have been that much better? How likely is it that the set-top box manufacturer would see the warning, as long as things were running smoothly? The only thing guaranteed to get users' attention is failure. One interesting approach would be a three-month period of increasingly likely failure (HTTP 403 or 410 or 444 or whatever). Start with a 1% chance of failure. Double that a few days later. And so on. Fail enough to get users' attention, so that they visit your website, see the warning, and react -- but not enough (initially) to cause irreparable harm. Thoughts?
