      It’ll be a fun watch if they do.

      Pretty sure Apple doesn’t want their dirty laundry on the front page every day.

      Like how iMessage isn’t nearly as secure as they claim. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38537444

      And they haven’t done anything about these issues in 4 years.

      Or that contrary to their claim that this is protecting their users, forcing them to downgrade to SMS for any conversation off of iOS/OSX means all those messages are sent in the clear, for anyone to read.

      Beeper has also exposed any claim they want to make that iMessage can’t be integrated with other platforms.

      It’s interesting to watch, for sure.

          That particular defense has historically been a little shaky. That said since it’s a corporation that would be using it in this case instead of some random hacker (in the MIT sense) or Chinese company it would have a better chance of holding up in court.

          I’m betting though that Apple won’t even bother with trying a DMCA based suit, but rather will argue some kind of TOS violations.
