Wait. I don't believe this is a legit request.

Where there similar scares with fake Microsoft legal notices?

No lawyer would cite US law out of its jurisdiction and demand action, as it would create a mockery of himself as well as the corporation he represents.

I feel like calling BS on this one. For the sake of community development, I hope I'm right.

This is fake again, i guarantee it. The last few times this has happened its been fake. I wouldn't get too worried about it.

I like this. Basically legal. Sure it violates the EULA completely, but it's basically legal. :joker:

I'm not judging, just find it funny that you'd use the most controlling company as an example of more open practices.

Ask the guys in jail from PirateBay if that holds true.....

Not gonna deny they are VERY controlling but I had ubuntu on it for long time but needed iphone SDK on the go so why not?

Back to the subject at hand...

Re: Microsoft issues take down notice for WM6.5.1 ROMs
 

While these particular notices may or may not be actually legit, the above isn't entirely true either. This is really the entire point of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and its accompaniments; the reciprocal recognition of copyrights. Hosts and registrars worldwide are still administered by ICANN which was also a party to DMCA development and can provide a whole set of other problems for companies that choose to completely ignore or provide proper channels for DMCA takedown notices.

I stand corrected.

But - do you think its likely they will encounter trouble if they didn't comply? I didn't even hear ICANN mentioned in anything around thepiratebay case.

You just posted that on wmpoweruser, didn't you?
