The CEO of the YC company apologized in the other HN thread and said they are changing it...why is this still a story. To be fair, I would be upset and annoyed like CBI, but on a pragmatic level...what more do they want. No good comes out of publicizing others shortcomings (no matter how much they deserve the public shaming). This should have been handled privately...not through Twitter and HN. If they insisted on doing something publicly why not spin it in your favor and make a slogan, "Data so awesome, our competitors steal it like a possum."
