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.

    You know, I had an ounce of respect for the guy when I read your comment, but lets face it, anyone who ends their letters in "BYEZ" needs to get a bit more maturity before I can get behind their cause.

    If he runs a bash script to tie up game servers he's just an asshole, not a martyr.
