is that cheating?

I don't think so.
Kodak has long been a strong supporter of Hollywood producers, even in the famous days of the film trust (I'm reading a big book on the story of Kodak).
Personally, I don't mind and I think it's a good thing that they should be promoting their products and business to the people who use the most film stock.

I did read a bit further into that link--another article by the same woman about Tarantino et. al. In which she states that Kodak is the only company still making film. Good ol' American journalism: I guess Orwo doesn't exist.
On the subject of cheating, Sony's payout to the studios not to release on HD DVD (Panasonic's alternative to Blue-ray) means all ethical bets are off!

HD DVD (Panasonic's alternative to Blue-ray)
Btw it's Toshiba not Panasonic. Get your facts right!;) ;D

Keep in mind, recent improvements to Ektar and Portra are supposed to have come from Kodak movie film stocks. I don't think the consumer market is big enough to fund and warrant extensive product development and research. Portra has always been good, but now is a stomping good, versatile and robust film! Ektar is not bad either, when the light is right.
