    I’m not sure how this korean company got to them or why

    They just sent a hail mary DCMA directly to the devs that’s not even enforceable. If it was, they’d have to go through GitHub with a DCMA request. But the Tachiyomi devs folded for no reason

      Easy to say when you’re not the one getting the notice/threat

        A notice that couldn’t be enforced. They could have told Kakao to file their DCMA through GitHub like they’re supposed to do. If the DCMA is filed outside that it’s not enforceable

          Again. It’s easy for you to say when you’re not the one getting the notice.

          Maybe the Dev has too much crap to deal with in their life. They are making software for free already. And now they’re expected to add another mental task?

          Maybe they just hate confrontation. Or have heard stories of what corporations can do to those that piss then off. Heard lots of stories of the little guy beating a corporation lately?
