Interview with Alexander Noe, PxScan Developer

Posted by Hemos on from the good-information-to-have dept.

wikinerd writes "I interviewed Alexander Noe, developer of the open source PxScan and PxView utilities. He recently received a cease-and-desist letter by Shinano Kenshi, the Japanese company which controls Plextor. His utilities provide similar functionality with PlexTools, sending special command sequences to Plextor DVD recorders that activate special features such as media quality check."

    Because it could be argued that email is not a 100% guaranteed transmission. You could have ignored it and claimed your spam filter must have erased it, and gone on about your business.

    IANAL, but don't you have to serve someone papers in a traceable way, like a registered letter or some such? And if so, I think these guys are probably not the brightest lawyers around. So I wouldn't worry.
