Tris: Game Over!
According to a recent post at Tris blog, the developer announces that this game is over! The developer has received a notice from Apple, who have been contacted by the owners of the Tetris copyright and have requested the developer remove the app.

Well — I've received notice from Apple that they've been contacted by The Tetris® Company about Tris. That, I'm afraid, is essentially game over. Do they have a case? No. Not really. I am convinced that if it went to court, the "copyright" claim would get thrown out completely. The trademark, perhaps not — but if I changed the name, to e.g. “Trys”, that would be much harder for them to argue. The trouble is, I'm a college student, and not an affluent one, and I simply do not have the time, energy, or resources to fight this battle right now.

Download the app while it is alive on the appstore! Sorry Tris and Noah, we will miss you!

They would pursue leagal action even it if were only on cydia. There was a tetris clone around the time of 1.1.1 or so.... and they had to change their name due to a cease and desist from Tetris™ |

Wow, that is pretty ridiculous, esepcially considering that it's not like the real creator of Tetris is going to release an official iPhone version. This game was really well designed, and I nabbed it a week or so ago when I saw it climbing the top 25. And also he isn't making any money off of the game, so what is the problem here??
He should take it down, wait a week, then repost the same program with a completely different, generic name like 'falling blocks' or 'block puzzle' or even something unrelated like 'tortoise' |
