Legally doesn't matter WHERE it as so long as its in plain view (not having to click a special link or anything).

That's it! I'm changing my last name to iPhone and see if I can cash in on this! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

I think that he was referring to a splash page that people were forced to click enter. Sorta like porn sites I guess? haha good example. Anyway I don't know if that would solve everything but it sounds like a good simple way to solve that problem that Apple is addressing in the letter. I honestly thought that the letter might have been a lot worse. No comment really, just thought you guys might be looking at it the wrong way?

And furthermore, It seems like it would be a lot harder for them to send you a letter like that if you had a huge banner at the top of the forum or whole page saying so. Dunno if that would matter either though.. There are so many other websites with iphone in their domain name. I'm just waiting for them to all be forced to do the same thing.

Just to let you guys know, I understand wholeheartedly why you made the quick decision to change. It's just that I am not the type of person to be easily intimidated! I would risk going to jail first. I would have given them a nice fight before being handcuffed. As a matter of fact, if you want, sell me the ModMyI name and I'll put in a redirect to ModMyI. You can give Apple my name, address and phone number.

^^^Hel* yeah, MaX!!

[Kyle Matthews]

Yah, we consulted multiple lawyers. We're ballsy enough to fight if we had a case. Suffice it to be said, we did not, and we have changed the name. That's it. Moving on...

^^^Having enough money to hire lawyers to fight Apple is rare. Either way, new bookmark added.

Then I think I'm going to register a domain with 'iPhone' in it, and paste a huge mock-up of an iphone in the center of the page, and put links to all the popular modding sites and forums. At the bottom, I'll post my name, address and phone number.

Though I don't like this whole situation,
when it comes down to it:

It's still just the internet.

[Kyle Matthews]

Nice.

[Alpha Zero]

That sucks. We know what they are trying to do has no legal grounds and if you guys were to fight it, you would win. Problem is the money spent on lawyers and what not on MMi's part would not be worth it.

Question:
When the iCrap battery dies does it become an oCrap?

I'm glad you guys are hanging in there! Keeping this site running... its exposure is so big already nothing will stop your traffic as long as quality products continue to be updated and produced!

P.S. I had a great time breaking my first iphone last night! Thanks to the current technique on www.hackthei"f"one.com ("f" = ph)... not cool ... The WinSCP in step Two would not connect... so I got creative; My bad. Got a new phone with no problem though!

Here's the secret and a quick way to make your ifone unidentified/unsyncable by any computer. This will cause lost communication to the device via usb connection:

Delete all the visible "Hack" applications from your springboard... so it looks normal/stock. (DO THIS FIRST)

Now use "ibrikr" or other upload program to upload the file called " lockdownd" to the propper directery from the "lockdownd patched 1.1.1" directory provided in the rar file from www.hackthei"f"one.com. ("f" = ph) (as provided in the October 30th, 2007 technique for unlocking in step 1)

Make an appointment at your nearest apple store. (You must be using an AT&T Sim for service)

Tell them that it won't sync... They will try and it won't work for them either. They can't tell that you hacked it! ha ha ha. There is a fair chance your Youtube and e-mail will also stop working.

Finally, Just play the stupid card... say "It won't sync" and Bam... a new phone in just moments!

Good luck with your broken ifones and your new ones too!

I'm pretty sure that cash and pf said they consulted multiple lawyers. I know nothing in this situation about legal **** and that's why I don't make $160-200+ an hour but seriously people who the hell would want to spend money when all you do is get a new domain name. It makes sense that people think that they have the "balls" to fight a huge corporation but lets see what you think about it when you no longer have a house to live in or a car because you think that you can still win?? It's not about win or lose here at least to me. Things like this can take up a lot of court time which is cash money.

I'm just glad I found this website to begin with.
