Hey guys, First of all, let me say that we're aware of bliptv.com. I don't think I should say very much about the issue at the moment, but we're doing what we can (in regular consultation with our lawyers) to deal with the situation.
I don't think anyone was out to hurt anyone or otherwise do anything dishonest. Now it's just a matter of what we can do so both companies can get on with our lives in the best manner possible.
