I don’t think there’s a copyright component to this. DMCA isn’t on the table

Haier were implying that they might sue if the developer didn’t take it down

Good point. Nothing in the article explicitly states that it’s a copyright claim, but they do mention “protecting… [their] intellectual property”. In any case, it’s always easier for the website host to fold to cover their own asses than to continue hosting the content.

The letter from haier says it is a beach of TOS. It’s directly a “take it down or we’ll delete your account” letter
