I dont get it, he should be extremely happy by what they did. Free advertising, free traffic, its like getting a nr 1 result Google. All i read here is, get a lawyer. He should be celebrating.

He actually seems happy - the decriers just live here in the comments. As usual...

Free advertising for what? No attribution, the user won't see it comes from him. Free traffic for what? He will have to foot the bill for image hosting + generation. No other part of the website can be discovered, let a lone an advertisement or donate button displayed. The only thing he got was being able to write this blogpost about how apple uses his service.

The only reference to his site is hidden behind 3 screens in a URL. All ads are stripped, his brand is stripped. I don't think he must celebrate (though he seems happy).

      They've been there for years. You just turned off your ad blocker :)

        weird... when I reloaded without content blockers on my phone there weren't any ads, but checking on my big computer I saw them. I guess that's what I get for assuming.

        The mobile site has fewer ads than the desktop site. Ads only appear in the footer on mobile.

If anyone from Apple is reading this, please reach out using JGuitar.com's contact form. We can work together to make this experience even better. I can provide high quality SVG images of all chord diagrams, support alternate tunings, instruments and more.

Everything needs to be on a level playing field. Imagine if that situation is the other way around. Would Apple be so happy? In fact, it would be good if Apple _is_ happy but I somehow doubt it.

  "We at Apple are grateful that Asaph hacked into our product presentation feed and replaced it with an ad for his chord finder..." Somehow I doubt it too.
