Told by who? Source for this?

I actually work for the registry that is site is registered with. Identity Digital has an abuse policy in place, so if any evidence of malware distribution or anything that runs afoul of said policy pops up I can escalate the handling of this site internally. I’ll check back on this and similar articles and forums to see if any update happens, but PMing me here on Lemmy also works too. However, until they do something that goes against one of our policies, my hands are tied unfortunately.

Edit: I can refer this to legal and see where the trademark dispute falls.

Edit 2, 2024.05.22: I’ve sent two emails to the developer’s email address, no response received.

For anyone who gets this abhorrent soft brick on their Roku TV, MAC address filter your TV on your router (prevents it from accessing the internet and phoning home). Hard restart your TV (unplug and replug since they lock you out of restarting via GUI), and Bob’s your uncle (dumb TV with no forced agreement for continued “dumb” use).

Unclear how long this will last, but as long as you keep your TV off the internet you should be good to go.
