  wow, from just this one side of the story, it definitely paints the journalist as a total scumbag. however, the replies here to my comment make it come across like i was attacking the journos. i was actually making commentary on how the corpMedia companies have been treating the newsroom in favor for the new hotness of social platforms

    Thanks for clarifying. Still, do you see the NY Times as corporate media? They are independent, if I understand your meaning. I'm not out to defend them - I have no particular interest in the Times - but there are so many misconceptions about journalism.

  Even if it’s true that Urbina scammed all those musicians (he claims he didn’t make any money which is believable considering how little an online stream pays), it has nothing to do with the NYTimes considering the actions in question were after he left the newspaper and started his own company. If anything, the NYTimes itself is a victim of the scam (and definitely bad IT practice) since the musicians claim he sent the mails from his NYT address even thiugh he wasn’t employed by them anymore.

    There seems to have been no direct involvement of NYT in this beyond lax IT policy and a lack of desire to expose the reporter's actions. If hundreds of artist were affected should they not have reported on it? They chose to not do so and even kept the reporter's writing on the website.
