Ed McMillen: Ubuntu Store Sold Super Meat Boy Without Permission, Has Yet To Pay
Pirates is way too heavy a term here. Canonical is large enough and the issue muddy enough that I don't think this is a warranted accusation. They're also shooting themselves in the foot, instead of coming to some kind of amicable arrangement they've now accused canonical of a serious crime which will lead to a response to that accusation rather than to a solution that would have been beneficial to all parties.<p>If you deal with a company that is much larger than yours that made a mistake or did something you don't agree with publicity is a means of last resort, not your first avenue for redress. And if you truly believe canonical pirated your game then you should sue them.<p>This is an excellent reminder why I prefer open source to closed source, projects like Arch and Debian would never suffer from this.
