“I received via email yesterday a request from Apple Legal to essentially remove any Front Row related postings and files,” Andrew Escobar, developer of “Front Row Enabler” writes in his blog. The free application allowed users to install Apple’s Front Row application on an Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.5 or above.
[…] Your use of Apple’s trademarks and copyrighted materials violates Apple’s intellectual property rights, which Apple has an affirmative obligation to protect.
Apple therefore must insist that you cease use of Apple’s trademarks and copyrighted images and that you stop offering the unauthorized downloads of Apple’s Front Row software. […]
Escobar writes, “I obviously am complying because I support Apple’s right to defend its intellectual property [and] I don’t want this to escalate any further.”
