So many other people have made copys of tetris what rights do electronic arts have? tris is a knock off. http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/2008/03/01/tris-04/

So many other people have made copys of tetris what rights do electronic arts have?

This is appears to be clear anti-Apple bias because their business tactics aren't appreciated in one way or another, and in this case has almost nothing to do with Apple. They are simply the conduit of information from the holder of the rights to Tetris. I've been a long time user of Windows (since 3.1) and buying the two Macs in the last year has been the best techy decision I have ever made. However I choose not to use iTunes, or iPods and buying DRMed (and therefore immediately obsolete) audio and video. I don't have a Mobileme account, because I can get better and cheaper (free) elsewhere. I have a perfectly happy life with media on my Macs. Apple may not be the golden child they once were, but they are completely blameless in this instance. The threats of legal action haven't come from Apple, so please stop this tabloid journalism. It isn't doing anybody any favours. It’s anti-Apple articles like this that are starting to make me doubt accuracy of the reporting of other stories at P2Pnet.

I haven't seen the game yet, but if it is a Tetris clone (or knockoff, or even similar), and it's using a Tetris-like name, then of course it should be pulled. Jeez... after a while it really does turn into the inmates running the asylum, doesn't it? I don’t understand what the big deal is with this one.
