I've been on the receiving end of a NPM name dispute violation handed down by Izs. https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/disputes https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/disputes
Was on vacation and found out that I had lost a published package name within 24 hours of the dispute request. Broke a few production systems. Really messed up my day.
Ended up having to beg with the person who filed the original request and they eventually gave me the package back.
Honestly, the whole process was a bit personal and I felt like I was being singled out as an individual by NPM, rather than being treated like a developer who was using the service. Not a nice feeling.
- anon4 11y agoAlso was there even an actual trademark violation here? Sounds like the entire thing shouldn't have happened in the first place. Of course, people will take home the lesson "Koçulu is a crazy guy who cares more about stupid ideology than keeping things working" rather than "Kik lawyers are way too trigger-happy" and "Holy shit I can just unpublish and replace whichever module I want by just filing an unrelated trademark and emailing one guy".
