We should not be scared of seeking visibility,  I know OSM can handle a lot
of new users, and making us visible is also a way to get a  steady growth.
But we should not demand the media to give us the attention. When we grow
bigger, the media will report about OSM because we're more interesting, and
we will have enough man-power to handle everything.

If you disrupt that steady process, and you really demand stuff through
laws and lawsuits, I don't think it would end very well.
