squiddo: threats and actual legal moves are different. I have far more of an issue with Hussie saying 'we have no problem with you but we'll sue if you don't do this how we like' than if they just sent the DMCA takedown. it's the back and forth, not the actual takedown. Gio says early on in his article that Hussie is well within his rights to demand the asset pack come down, that is not something he contests.
