I never said he was currently being sued. Also many of the clones probably don't make the money the original does.

I personally believe he's probably some poor indie developer who's practically won the lottery and realizes he could loose it all by all the attention he's received. Removing the app, and disappearing until everything settles down, (whilst still making residual revenue from all the current installs), is the best way for him to mitigate his growing risk of being sued, which is probably scary for him and out of his depth, being a solo indie developer from Vietnam.

Of course he could just be a crazy irrational indie developer as the article assumes, among a number of other explanations which we will probably never know the truth :)

I don't think this article is anywhere near accurate of the current situation. The author doesn't know the creator of Happy Birds personally, and makes a lot of presumptions whilst perhaps projecting a lot of his own issues onto him.

I'm more inclined to think the creator took the game down to save himself being sued to oblivion and keep whatever money he currently has.

Yes, you are in the tiny minority :) So your actions are pretty inconsequential to most companies

For Google to build their own fibre optic networks, that will be able to accommodate a lot of the USA and Europe, what's the costs/difficulties?

I am aware they were trialling some sort of netwrok locally to CA, how difficult/expensive is it to roll this out worldwide?

How has AirBnb have any relation to Kim Dotcom.

How does another company in tech spamming, have anything to do with whether it's morally right or wrong with another company using such tactics?

Two wrong don't make a right..

I like the site. Can anyone give a technical synopsis of how this has been made, perhaps the time frame and complexity of an app like this?

I'm assuming Kim hasn't coded this himself, anyone know if he outsourced to a company?
