And how is the situation with desktop clients? Last I saw the situation was not exactly great.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone that a challenge of the DMCA has not reached the Supreme Court in over 25 years of its existence.

Claming injury to a third-party who hosted information (did they host binaries?) of a tool at issue seems like a novel legal theory to me. Best of luck to them.

Card game? Does he mean there is a console/PC version of the Pokemon card game or this is simply bad journalism?
