Kakao in the near future, trying to handle Tachiyomi forks:
I’m assuming this one is because he’s just going to tell them to fuck off.
There’s no legal basis to take it down.
Perhaps Mihon will tell Kakao to fuck off. But if Mihon doesn’t, someone else will. [Plus I wanted an excuse to post a cute kitten .gif]
There’s no legal basis to take it down.
Even when there’s no legal basis, a corporation is better prepared to potentially lose a legal battle than a bunch of amateurs are to potentially win it. It’s a form of corporate trolling - “both of us know that you’d win if you fought, but also that you won’t fight”.
That works fine if you’re a corporation dealing with one group that dares to stand between you and the money. But it fails if used over and over, as eventually one group will say “you want a bloody legal battle mate? We’re focking getting one.”
Hilariously, I’d never heard of any of this stuff until this company decided to Streisand the fuck out of themselves.
And the best part is that they went after the container instead of the content, so all they did was make their problem even worse…

Anyone know why the change? I’m aware that they were being targeted but I thought removing the extensions had appeased the kcorp.
Kakao (or whatever they’re called) were going after everyone involved, so Tachiyomi has been deprecated, one of the devs forked it and will continue development.
The devs just said fuckit afterwards, as you do when you get a lawsuit saying your about to be so far in debt because of your side project that your whole life will be turned up side down.
I would have done the same.
