I followed this drama on Twitter. The author was breaking the terms of service and creating DMCA support burden for Vercel. They had proactively been in touch

  Care to provide any links? The Twitter claim above is that their was no communication and the ban occurred on a Friday.

  > I think it’s quite reasonable that they blocked the account rather than the project. I’m just responding to your last sentence: why would you go out of your way to say it is reasonable to block the account rather than the project? I can understand locking the account just as the “lazy default” but I would not call it in any way reasonable - but you did, so I’m curious. If that is reasonable, what would you consider unreasonable? (Because to me, the obviously reasonable thing to do would be to block the project and not his entire account.)

    It’s just a matter of opinion. I think Vercel were acting reasonably with all of the context we have. Things like terms of business are at the account level, not project level.

  Perhaps, yet it is also reasonable to see this as a reason for anyone else to avoid Vercel. Just because it's their right to conduct this way, doesn't mean it's not everyone elses exactly equal right to judge that and avoid.
