Comment on Netflix Prize 2 Cancelled Due to a Lawsuit and FTC Inquiryparent

Comments

Right, but I find it astonishing that it was necessary to cancel the competition altogether.

I find it surprising that there wasn't a middle-ground which anonymized or didn't include personally identifying information.

I feel the lack of a middle-ground is probably due to the lawsuit plaintiffs refusing to back down (presumably for financial gain) and thus causing Netflix to hedge their risk.
