If you didn’t already think that blogging was a particularly cut-throat, dog-eat-blog world, then perhaps this more-than-slightly-odd story will change your mind: Alex Billington, founder of FirstShowing.net, has been accused of “blackmailing” Universal to gain entry into a preview screening of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World at Comic-Con …
