Financial risk too great for dev working "in my spare time to help others."

Mazda is angry a customer used an API in a manner they couldn’t control. You can read the DMCA takedown notice here.

    That doesn’t stop anybody. Just this morning Amazon sent out a wave of C&Ds because people were using their public APIs to access “proprietary data.”
