aTV (gone in a) Flash

atv Flash Thanks to eagle eyed commenters, we’ve gotten word that aTV Flash, which we mentioned recently, is gone. Vaporware.

Due to questions arising regarding the fair use of a particular file present on the aTV Flash, and conflicting opinions as to whether or not it falls under the fair use category, we have VOLUNTARILY discontinued offering the aTV Flash at this time.

In our interpretation of the fair use doctrine, our software does not cross any lines, but since this is a grey area issue, we have taken a proactive approach and decided to seek clarifcation directly from the rights holder before we offer the product again.

I would have loved to know what file we are in question speaking about so I could take a gander at its usage statement, but alas, it’s unspecified. All orders have been cancelled and refunded. In addition, you may now feel free to scramble and try to install all these Apple TV mods on your own.

The one guy with an Apple TV will be disappointed.
