Thank you Mr. DMCA

So the DMCA is being used to crack down on Magic Suitcase. Not sure how far they're taking their copyrights (images, text, etc.), but it appears as though they want people using their online gatherer search engine. Bunch of crap if you ask me. I was all excited to use suitcase for my ChoK deck building. Guess I'll have to find another way to do it. I think maybe creating an app for proxy decks that gets all its data via gatherer might be a neat idea. They can't really do anything since it'd just be an automated proxy creater rather than a full on database of copyrighted information.

It wouldn't be as nice to use as suitcase since suitcase is offline and all, and I've always been scared of the HTTP protocol, but it might serve as a temporary solution for someone to code up.

the hypertext transfer protocol protocol scares you?
