I'm no lawyer, but if Kik's assertion of 'because you have to enforce trademarks or you lose them' is true then I understand their actions - that's just the world we live in.
It was decent of the Kik guys to try and amicably sort it out before calling in the lawyers given the situation, though admittedly it's also cheaper for them this way. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect confusion between Kik's product and Azer's node module - the names are identical. NPM's stance is kind of covered by their policy[0], point 3.

- brazzledazzle 11y agoHow is not attempting to negotiate the price a decent move? If you want to negotiate and someone asks for a price that you believe is unreasonable isn't it normal to counter that offer?
- KingMob 11y agoUsing polite language to threaten only seems amicable. And believing you have to make threats because of the law doesn't mean you're not an asshole.
