Mazda is angry a customer used an API in a manner they couldn’t control. You can read the DMCA takedown notice here.

And if available in Europe, do you think that information will not appear elsewhere? Mazda is not going to create a separate API for them alone.

Content providers already block access to content based on locale. It won’t be hard to have a flag in the API that turns off functionality based on the callers location.
