The weather belongs to everybody and everybody is effected by it. Even though I provide the current weather information from my equipment, I feel that everyone is entitled to have access to it. I would still have the equipment even if I was the only one looking at it. When I was a child, my parents taught me to share. As long as it doesn't cost me anything more, I don't care who uses it. Somehow or another Comcast uses my webcam for the local weather for Cave City. Unless it is in the fine print when I signed up to upload the webcam to WU, I never gave Comcast permission to use it.
While TWC programming has gone down hill enough that it was a deciding factor in me cancelling Dish, I can't say that I "hate" them or anything. Previously WU had a policy that if you supplied PWS data, you could link and use their info on your website. I don't know if that has changed with the new owners or not, but I thought that was a great deal. I haven't used Intellicast in years, but I always liked their radars.
If I stopped using services of companies that didn't necessarily align their values and visions of how civilization should be with my values and visions, I would be quite rich as I don't think I would be spending money with most businesses.
