minus-square@Corngood@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish196•1 year agoMy non-expert take on this: Haier claims these plugins cause the firm significant financial damage Don’t care. Competition is not damage. violate copyright laws Prove it. plug-ins developed by you […] that are in violation of our terms of service The plug-ins never agreed to your ToS. Better sue your customers instead.
