Hopefully, the negative exposure that couch base receives just from this Hacker News story will outweigh the amount they saved by reneging on their sponsorship, and that will discourage other companies from doing the same in the future.

It'll be one person within CouchBase that was championing this, and management okayed them spending $Xk to attend and give a talk. They're now sick, and they think that if they can get the $Xk back then they might be able to spend it on some other conference later in the year when they're better. And obviously everyone likes paid business flights to conferences in holiday destinations!
