This is how FOSS dies.
Where the living fuck are the EFF's team of lawyers?
I know they generally focus on US cases, but god damn, you'd think the egregiousness of this would get their asses involved.
Was the case issued in Japan? From what I've read the legal system there is famously one sided, criminal cases have a 99.8% conviction rate.
IANAL but since they used the word "threatened" instead of "I'm getting sued", no case is being filed.
Pretty sure that if they were actually getting sued they'd already be radio silent.
