Maui X-Stream Threatens To Sue DrunkenBlog For Slander Over CherryOS Exposure

By Laurie A. Duncan

This is priceless. The original company behind CherryOS sent a nastygram to Michael Bell (aka DrunkenBatman) that basically says they are getting ready to sue him for – get this – libel and slander.

"Now, you may be curious as to why a company named Maui X-Stream
(MXS) has a problem with me to the point where they're essentially telling me they're trying to figure out how to sue me, they happen to be the company that birthed CherryOS
upon the world..."

This lengthy post on Bell's DrunkenBlog
is a shining example of investigative journalism. It wouldn't make a bad mysery novel either. If you have the time, give it a read and learn more about:

  • The legal threats against those finding the evidence, and why DrunkenBlog had to get a lawyer.
  • The evidence of infringing GPL and LGPL programs within their VX30 products. Programs like XviD, LAME, Media Player Classic,
    phpAdsNew, and more.
  • How the evidence was gathered, and how you can verify it for yourself.
  • My three hour chat with Arben Kryeziu regarding VX30, CherryOS, the evidence of infringing code in their other commercial product called VX30, and a whole bunch of other goofy behavior.
  • Much, much more.
