Re: HTC Threatens hackers with legal action for distributing ROMs.
Let's lay out the facts
First of all, its real
Second, HTC claims its because the site serves no purpose other then as a mirror for their intellectual rights and property, legally this is all in their favor
Conflipper is hosting ROMS, as well as certain ones not released yet, that are copyrighted by HTC. HTC as already said hands off, but it's gotta be with stuff they're okay with. If they really wanted to be cruel, they could restrict any ROM development, but they know its a love-hate relationship
ATM its a C&D he's gonna have to deal with, as its real intellectual rights, and HTC now has Microsoft lawyers at their disposal.
