- ahallock 8y agoYou would think so, but perhaps they didn't have the credentials.
- benatkin 8y agoThey never contacted a human at npm, they just went straight over their heads.
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoNpm should have a forced arbitration clause for anyone posting code under US jurisdiction. Then they can pull a procedural power play.
- bachmeier 8y agoThat wouldn't help. The bank's accusing them of publishing stolen code.
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoThe bank, as a corporate entity, posted the disputed code. It doesn't matter that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand did.
- Klathmon 8y agonpm doesn't allow you to delete a package once it has some downloads to prevent another left pad incident. I'm sure they can make exceptions, but it's not as simple as a quick CLI command.
