I hear it is back now. Anybody tried it to see how well it works?

@Jesse: I agree that removing a product or service when you’re not sure of legal issues is always good. Better safe then sorry.

However at the same time this dongle is pretty cool and just goes to show that some corporate “fruit” (har har) companies should be a little more open to third party add-ons and modifications, or at least come up with some of this on there own to bring in new customers.

I’m happy to see a company remove a product before they get a take-down notice simply because they aren’t sure. We need more like this in the world to try to keep people honest.

I’m all for bit torrent, media copying, etc as long as it’s legal and if they aren’t sure, they should be commended for taking it down now.
