The guy behind Blue Mars is Henk Rogers. His claim to fame is threatening small developers with vague legal threats. abednarz.net » The Tetris Company - Copyright Quote: |
What’s all this? This page describes how The Tetris Company is trying to remove all freeware & shareware tetris-style games from distribution. They are claiming that they have copyright on “the look and feel” and “trade dress” of Tetris. This is not legal and is an invalid claim.

Since Apple Inc. launched the Appstore in August, 2008, the Tetris Company has bullied five Tetromino game developers into removing their games from the Appstore. Each developer received a Cease and Desist Letter from the Tetris Company, followed shortly by a warning from Apple to remove infringing materials. Let me start by saying that these letters are absolutely bogus. You will soon understand why.
