Blogger Threatened For Publishing JS Hack

Posted by kdawson on from the most-boneheaded-legal-threat-contest dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Internet radio station Atlanta Blue Skye LLC has warned a Romania-based technology enthusiast that his blog has been 'copied' and turned over to its lawyers. The issue stems from his posting of a widely known workaround for bypassing JavaScript functions that try to disable a mouse's right-click context menu functionality, and the radio stream information gathered from the Properties function of Windows Media Player."

    I've been out of the loop on web programming too long. I had no idea anyone still used Javascript. I guess I should remove the really dusty first edition O'Reilly JS book from my shelf or use the company funded "Obsolete" stamp.

    ~sigh~ Let me guess, no one writes html in vi either anymore? This is what happens when you work in offices with no windows or internet connections.

    Please someone tell me we're not still using Pascal, Lisp?!? I mean I know there is still Fortran code around that has to be maintained but for the love of John Hughes' films and all that is sacred!1!!

    ~pulls self back together~

    I'm sorry about getting OT, won't happen again. I'm just taking my first vacation in a spell...had forgotten there was sunlight, hawt chicks and stuff.
