Yeah, I am expecting my letter anytime soon like everyone. Frankly, I'd ignore them until they file legal procedure and actually manage to remove your app from sale. They just don't have funds to start a real legal action against every small dev. For now they only paid to print their shit. At this point they've only succeeded in killing trees.
If that legal bullshit is valid, Google will have to remove your app, if they do it they'll have to do it for *everyone* which is basically half the apps on the market. I just wouldn't worry too much. They're just attacking small devs to get what they want from Google and Apple. In the meantime they're just trying to extort money from small people because they know they don't have a lawyer. Also the guys at appsterdam are organizing a defense against these parasites, you might want to talk to them: http://mur.mu.rs/?p=303 I can't believe we're even talking about people actually pretending they invented bloody links between apps. Anyway the american market isn't the biggest one for me so I'll just replace the "more apps" page in my apps for American users with a message explaining to my users why I am not allowed to link to my own apps. If anyone has an address and phone number or e-mail I'd gladly put an e-mail form in my apps to contact them.
