Urban Strata writes "Popular mobile phone community HowardForums.com is getting threatened with take-down notices from MobiTV. At issue is the fact that a HowardForums community member uncovered a PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE URL for MobiTV's television stream. This URL is not encrypted or authenticated in any way, and yet MobiTV sent site owner Howard Chui a cease-and-desist letter for hosting a forum with the public URL, claiming doing so is equivalent to hacking their service.

So what's next, Microsoft sues me for linking to Microsoft.com?"
