Ouch. You're lucky they weren't total dicks and didn't sue you for damages. You have to be very careful with copyright / trademark infringement, especially if it's a clear case like this and you're clearly making a profit on it.

- geuis 15y agoYeah I was worried for a minute. When I wrote the app I was taking a calculated risk because there have been a number of Hangover apps in the store for a long time. I figured the chances were good that no one would complain. 1 week before the movie release, there were several Hangover 2 apps in addition to mine. They all disappeared at the same time, yet apps for the first movie still are around now.
