GameSpy Sends DMCA-Based C&D To Security Researcher

Posted by timothy on from the these-so-called-bugs dept.

chowbok writes "Luigi Auriemma has found several security holes GameSpy software over the past few months. He has reported them all to GameSpy but never got a response... until today, when he got a threatening letter from their lawyers. It says he's violating the DMCA, he needs to cease-and-desist, yadda yadda yadda." Update: 11/12 21:09 GMT by S : GameSpy has now posted an official response from the company's founder, Mark Surfas.

    Hi Hunter -

    Unfortunately, he's not telling the truth. What is happening is simply attempted extortion. He didn't contact us, never has, and has been harassing us for over a year.
