Student writes Tetris clone for iPod, app to be pulled today

In a shocking turn of events, Tris creator Noah Witherspoon has been notified by Apple that they've been contacted by the Tetris® company's lawyers.

A surprised Witherspoon suggests in his blog that if he changed the name to "Trys", they wouldn't have any legal legs to stand on. He agrees that copyright laws are required to protect the owners of game concepts from "quick ripoffs", and then goes on to accuse the company of bullying.

Stay in school, dude.

'Tris' = 'Tetris' minus the 'et'

Because the creator had some horrible view experience with the movie E.T. back when he was a kid.

Makes total sense to me.

If not, they might be able to initiate the self-destruct next time you connect to a WAN.

I've been a very good boy and haven't done to upset the gods at Apple. But if they start taking away application that I purchased from thier store we may have to change that.

Is it my fault that they posted something (for free) that had questionable copywrite issues?
