Nobody has a god damn spine in the tech world. These guys could've stood up & been different - the fact they shut down shortly after being featured on here, Reddit & other large websites shows that they weren't passionate at all & weren't willing to standup for their users at all. Ridiculous.

I owned a site that was targeted by the MPAA. I don't think you understand just how intense that can be. it's hardly a C&D letter.

That's interesting. Any chance you could be more specific?

That's an easy statement to make when you aren't risking a battle with the full legal force of corporations like the MPAA.

How dare people making a free, open-spurce project not engage in an expensive legal battle in order to keep that product available! The nerve!
