It was happening all over the world, most prominently in the UK where the “Home Taping is Killing Music” campaign was apparently everywhere to be found. I never really bought into the hype,...
Twitter and Facebook have both in the past year gone through the same (very public) battle with members of their developer ecosystem over TOS-related oversteps that resulted in termination of access.
