Dropbox Attempts To Kill Open Source Project

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the draw-your-swords dept.

Meskarune writes "Dropbox is trying to kill the Dropship project, a useful program that allows users to import files into their accounts using hashes and bypassing the need to make files public. Dropbox sent out fake DMCA requests to all parties involved, and is banning and censoring the program."

    It's their service and they can control their users however they wish. If that includes some open source project, then so be it. Find something else.

    You little neck-bearded fucks have this extraordinary sense of self-entitlement. Many places of business won't let you in without a shirt or shoes on. They can refuse business to you. Likewise Dropbox can refuse service to you if you're using their service in a way they don't like.

    Get over it and especially get over yourselves.
