The case of the stolen fingerprints

As many of you have probably noticed, something called Gary Fung stole all the images, sounds and text of TouchScan, copied the look and feel as well as Icon and Name, added a “Pro” to the end and started selling it.

People think it’s a superior verion to the original TouchScan and hence buy it. When they see that it’s hardly working, they come back complaing…and the come back to ME! That’s great! The app is crashing a lot, you can enter two results (yes, he copied the settings-dialogs as well) but the app can use just one…go figure! That’s what the thiev Gary Fung calls “the best deal for my customers”. Problem is, I get the support mails!

Anyway, ars technica wrote about it and Gay Fung seems to be scared enough to have replied at once again saying he didn’t do anything wrong. So, Mr. Fung, let’s get this straight: You stole from me and that is against the law anywhere on this planet!

    @Doug: There is more to come than just a new name :-) the software behind the name is allready in review!

    Nice job renaming yours to Ultimate and mentioning it is an upgrade to Pro. Hehe… I hope this does the trick and buries that other guy.
