MOSH != Napster (or BitTorrent, Limewire, etc.)

Oh noes, I wuz busted! This morning I received a polite but short email that said, in very clear language, that the MOSH bosses had removed the game I’d uploaded to their server because I didn’t own the copyright on it. They also wrote that if I did it again, they’d close my account.
I was testing the waters with the game in the first place—I was curious about how Nokia would maintain plausible deniability if they allowed a file sharing free-for-all for their users. It took them four days to delete my game, so the system isn’t perfect. Then again, I dunno how long it takes YouTube to remove copyright infringing vids, so maybe this is normal?
Anyway, the MOSH party is not over—it’s still a great place to find legit software and content for your phone. Pirates will have to look elsewhere (or just check in every day to see what some newbie has uploaded before MOSH admins delete it).
