cnet gamecenter in the middle of 1996 44 according to the san francisco chronicle it was one of the first web sites devoted to computer gaming news 45 it became a leading game focused website 46 47 in 1999 pc magazine named it one of the hundred best websites in any field alongside competitors ign and gamespot 48 according to gamecenter head michael brown the site received between 50 000 and 75 000 daily visitors by late 2000 44 in may 2000 cnet founded the gamecenter alliance network to bring gamecenter and four partner websites including inside mac games under one banner 49 nielsen netratings ranked gamecenter the sixth most popular gaming website in the united states by mid 2000 50 on july 19 2000 cnet inc made public its plan to buy ziff davis and its zdnet internet business for 1 6 billion 51 because zdnet had partnered with spotmedia parent company of gamespot in late 1996 52 the acquisition brought both gamespot and gamecenter under cnet inc s ownership 46 53 later that year the new york times described the two publications as the time and newsweek of gaming sites the paper reported that gamecenter seem ed to be thriving amid the dot com crash with its revenue distributed

company ended the gamecenter alliance network in january 2001 53 55 on february 7 gamecenter itself was closed in a redundancy reduction effort as gamespot was the more successful of the two sites 45 53 around 190 jobs were cut from cnet during this period 55 including at least 20 at gamecenter according to the san francisco chronicle 45 discussing the situation tom bramwell of eurogamer reported it is thought that very few if any of the website s staff will move sideways into jobs at gamespot now the company s other gaming asset 55 the washington post later noted that gamecenter was among the popular video game news sites to close in 2001 alongside daily radar 56 malware in downloads edit with a catalog of more than 400 000 titles the downloads section of the website allows users to download popular software cnet s download com provides windows macintosh and mobile software for download cnet claims that this software is free of spyware but independent sources have confirmed that this is not the case while download com is overall a safe place to download programs precautions should be taken before downloading from the site as some downloads do contain malware 57 58 59 60 dispute with snap technologies edit in 1998 cnet inc was sued by snap technologies operators of the education service collegeedge for trademark infringement relating to cnet inc s ownership of the domain name snap com due to snap technologies already owning a trademark on its name 61 in 2005 google representatives refused to be interviewed by all cnet reporters for a year after cnet published google s ceo eric schmidt s salary and named the neighborhood where he lives as well as some of his hobbies and political donations 62 all the information had been gleaned from google searches 63 64 on october 10 2006 shelby bonnie resigned as chairman and ceo in addition to two other executives as a result of a stock options backdating scandal that occurred between 1996 and 2003 65 this would also cause the firm to restate its financial earnings over 1996 to 2003 for over 105 million in resulting expenses 66 the securities and exchange commission later dropped an investigation into the practice neil ashe was named as the new ceo 67 68 69 in 2011 cnet and cbs interactive were sued by a coalition of artists led by filmon founder alki david for copyright infringement by promoting the download of limewire a popular peer to peer downloading software 70 71 although the original suit was voluntarily dropped by alki david he vowed to sue at a later date to bring expanded 72 action against cbs interactive in november 2011 another lawsuit against cbs interactive was introduced claiming that cnet and cbs interactive knowingly distributed limewire the file sharing software 73 hopper controversy edit in january 2013 cnet named dish network s hopper with sling digital video recorder as a nominee for the ces best in show award which is decided by cnet on behalf of its organizers and named it the winner in a vote by the site s staff however cbs abruptly disqualified the hopper and vetoed the results because the company was in active litigation with dish network cnet also announced that it could no longer review any product or service provided by companies that cbs are in litigation with which also includes aereo the new vote subsequently gave the best in show award to the razer edge tablet instead 74 75 76 dish network s ceo joe clayton said that the company was saddened that cnet s staff is being denied its editorial independence because of cbs heavy handed tactics 74 on january 14 2013 editor in chief lindsey turrentine addressed the situation stating that cnet s staff were in an impossible situation due to the conflict of interest posed by the situation and promised that she would do everything within her power to prevent a similar incident from occurring again the conflict also prompted one cnet senior writer greg sandoval to resign 75 the decision also drew the ire of staff from the consumer electronics association the organizers of ces ceo gary j shapiro criticized the decision in a usa today op ed column and a statement by the cea stating that making television easier to watch is not against the law it is simply pro innovation and pro consumer shapiro felt that the decision also hurt the confidence of cnet s readers and staff destroying its reputation for editorial integrity in an attempt to eliminate a new market competitor as a result of the controversy and fearing damage to the show s brand the cea announced on january 31 2013 that cnet will no longer decide the ces best in show award winner due to the interference of cbs the position has been offered to other technology publications and the best in show award was jointly awarded to both the hopper with sling and razer edge 76 see also edit zdnet techcrunch techradar wired references edit cnet com whois dns domain info domaintools whois retrieved september 16
