## Source excerpt

Another DMCA takedown of one of my Android apps. This time initiated by The New York Times Company for a three year old app titled "NYTimes Article Search". Instead of having their lawyers send the DMCA notice to Google which immediately suspends the respective app, they could have just sent me an email and I'd have changed the name immediately. Quite sad how the world is driven by lawyers these days...
