Flickr的創辦人回應CK的問題Stewart 說︰CK wrote to me yesterday right when this happened and requested that we look into it. I apologized for the tone of the letter, told him (in short) that we loved him and all the stuff he's done over the years, explained (what I assumed) was going on, and told him that we'd check into it right away
Yahoo!'s a big company with thousands of employees in dozens of countries, and it's several people's job to protect IP and deal with phishing, squatting, different kinds of IP violations and stuff. As a rule, the people registering trademarked names are doing it do profit from traffic in ads directly or (more often) to extort the trademark holders (sometimes, successfully).
Therefore, the lawyers don't spend a lot of time individually crafting each letter they send -- and they definitely don't take into account contributions to API hacking, involvement or prominence in the blogging community, etc. -- everyone gets more or less the same letter, equally threatening. It's their job and it is generally not meant to be personally insulting or anything.
Unfortunately, I haven't heard back from .CK and neither have the lawyers (and we're now in touch with them and have explained the background) so we're at a bit of a loss -- I'm not sure why he would quit developing or complain publicly, given an apology (sent within minutes of his email to me), explanation and a promise to come to some reasonable solution.
站長為Flickr貢獻了那麼多心力，也大力的推廣Flickr，寫了不少api也是廣大用戶的福氣，yahoo應該花錢贊助或網羅下來才對，用法律的手段實在不入流，很多熱情的高手都是這樣被澆熄的。
我反對改 fuckr.tw 跟有一句罵人的話太近了，會變成罵到台灣ㄟ~~~~
1999年12月24日，hotmail連不上，一個Linux工程師發現原因是微軟passport.com的網址過期了，於是他用自己的信用卡幫微軟付了這筆錢，讓大家耶誕節可以收信……。事後微軟給他 $500 以及 Visual Studio 6.0。（而不是寫律師信叫他把網址還來）

這件事能否引起蘋果興趣?若是上報 越多人知道這件事 才有可能壓制一下財團的變相暴力
否則 我們這幾隻小貓的力量是讓他們看笑話而已吧~
