As blogged previously, I wrote a mobile phone version of the game "taboo" called tapu, for personal use. But as I like to share my work, I put the game with code and cards on my website. I did know that I most likely infringed someones copyright there, but I hoped that it was minor enough for them to not care.
Well, someone did care. To my honour, it was the original author of taboo, Brian Hersch, who personally mailed me that he wants to contact me, and in an second mail requested removal of the copyright infringement, which I of course did immediately.
Why am I blogging this? Because you don't need expensive lawyers to fix your problems, if a simple mail does it too. So before you send your legal team to someone, ask him first directly, and let them keep their money...
Have something to say? You can post a comment by sending an e-Mail to me at <mail@joachim-breitner.de>, and I will include it here.
