This is how FOSS dies.
Where the living fuck are the EFF's team of lawyers?
I know they generally focus on US cases, but god damn, you'd think the egregiousness of this would get their asses involved.
I mean the eff can only do so much to defend people who didn't even fucking bother in the slightest to defend themselves and just rolled over at every turn
Was the case issued in Japan? From what I've read the legal system there is famously one sided, criminal cases have a 99.8% conviction rate.
Kakao is Korean, but no cases have been issued yet right? Only threats
Yes but thats enough for people with no money...
For sure. I just mentioned it since the person I'm replying seemed to say a case already existed.
IANAL but since they used the word "threatened" instead of "I'm getting sued", no case is being filed.
Pretty sure that if they were actually getting sued they'd already be radio silent.
I feel like eff has bigger cases then a manga app dying
