Please, please be polite and civil when speaking with anyone from WotC. For all I know, they may not even be aware that DMCA was sent against iMtG (although I did ask for a legal audit of iMtG back in September) and the whole affair is maybe just the making of the legal company contracted by Hasbro. WotC is the company which is making our favourite game and without which iMtG could't exist anyway, we want to be friends with them.

I couldn't agree more with Piotr. If you do contact one of them, do not demand or even plead. All you would need to do in a legal situation as this one is just add your name to the list of people concerned about a particular issue, in this case the possible force removal of a tiny (great) app by Big Corporation. No more no less. You don't need to rant.

I didn't realize the open slate I left for hate slingers when I put his blog's URL, so I agree with Piotr, please be civil and short with your responses. 😊

I know the Mark Rosewater has been lamenting the lack of a good MtG app for some time (before iMtG).  He loves Apple products and I think he would appreciate iMtG.  Thing is, as Spikepit and Piotr have said, this isn't his battle and trying to drag him into it might sour people from the idea.

My suggestion would be to leave MaRo out of this one, at least for the time being.  He'd probably be in conflict of interest anyway.

Agreed. He would be backing MtG Toolbox anyways (even if he has been anonymously using this app for the time being)

No! How can I lose my most favorite app forum? î'

By the way, if you go to Wikipedia and press esc multiple times, then you can use it. 

Could not reproduce.  How many times?

Click on Wikipedia English, start pressing esc multiple times, page should show. Takes a bit of practice.

As an ironic note Wikipedia app is still going strong.

I wasn't even aware of this bill. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. What an insult to those who value free speech. We stand with you on this Piotr! (and check GOOGLE's logo folks. Poignant).

We're back, for now. I have very little doubt that sooner or later politicians will get their way and they will censor the internet. Protect the children :P
