id calls for removal of unofficial games from Android
Company serves notice on non-id developed versions of Doom and Quake
id Software parent company ZeniMedia has called for the removal of several non-official versions of id games from the Android Market.
A Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) complaint has been filed with Google, according to Android and Me, requesting that 11 applications in total are removed from the marketplace. The applications are all unofficial versions of Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein.
One developer affected by the cease and desist order stated that, "Although the Doom source code was open sourced, and the application was based on a port of the PrBoom engine, the application is still suspended. My mistake was allowing the download of the Plutonia and TNT WADs. At least that is what I suspect."
Although disallowed from the Android Market, the application could still be downloaded and installed through the web, the developer added.
