IT WAS SO FUNNY LOL

you would think that corporate sprint could get ahold of of their own retail stores

they dialed the # i was dialing on 3-way with me and noone picked up lol.

so what im getting at.... maybe it is a real take down, just some people know about it and some don't. The departments don't communicate with each other. It is a huge company you know... staff might be acting on there own according to there job title and job description.
This is exactly my thinking as well. Whether or not James Young is legit or not, Judy Weston is legit and she verified the notice. I haven't taken any action yet because I'm waiting for Mike.

This is how they've been doing it for some odd reason. When we get a takedown notice, they only link specific posts or threads. The link I provided earlier is the exact link in the email, which goes to your ROM thread.

I don't think they can just say "take down all of the WM6.5 ROMs". I think they have to provide specific links to things to take down.

Microsoft is 3 years behind Apple in area of smartphones (first multi-touch phones powered by Windows Mobile are expected in 2010 and Apple had them in 2007) and Apple has bigger market share in smartphones than Windows Mobile (achieved in a very short time of 2 years only!), so at least Microsoft should avoid upsetting people who are enthusiastic about their products...
Yup, that is true.

Re: 6.5 Cease and Desist

Ok guys, I can vouch for this.
As much as I want to believe this is a joke, its not. We have a serious problem on our hands.

PM me and I'll host the roms on my FTP server... strictly for archiving purposes, of course...

They really can't stop ROM sharing. It'll just go underground and be distributed via Torrents and whatnot.

The thing is, they're not targeting the actual downloads (atleast not here, one of the letters to a member at XDA was for the hosting site of a ROM).

All of the letters we have received have been to the threads/posts that contain the download links. Whether the links are on our FTP or Rapidshare, etc doesn't seem to matter.
