36-Hour Lemmings Port Gets Sony Cease and Desist

Posted by Soulskill on from the found-a-cliff-real-quick dept.

Zerocool3001 writes "The recently featured 36-hour port of the original Palm version of Lemmings to the iPhone and Palm Pre has received a cease and desist letter from Sony. Only one day after submitting the app for approval on the two app stores, the developer has put up a post stating that he 'did this as a tribute to the game — we can only hope that Sony actually does a conversion for platforms like iPhone and Palm Pre in the near future.' The text of the cease and desist letter is available from the developer's website."

    yeah, that makes sense! I have another one:

    what is the difference between a lemming and a lawyer?

    a lemming has green hair and is just a bunch of pixels tall, while a lawyer very rarely has green hair, and isn't even measured in pixels!

    More reasons not to have a phone with locked down software market. If some software gets pulled because of some retarded laws in USA, I'll just download it from somewhere else to my Android. With iPhone I get screwed also, even though I'm pretty much exactly on the other side of the planet.
