I probably should have done this sooner but seeing as we get so few of these, it really never crossed my mind until today. I'm going to use this thread to document content removed at the request of a copyright holder. If I can go back and find older requests (I remember at least one recent one), I may add them but for the time being, plan on the official record starting now. As this thread will be purely informational, I'm going to lock it so updates don't get lost in a discussion about the merits of the DMCA.

To kick things off, we got a formal DMCA takedown request from Outfit7 Limited regarding their Talking Tom games. As such, the following games and all of their associated content have been removed from the network:

Mobile - My Talking Tom (tMR, tTR, and tSoR)
Mobile - Talking Tom Bubble Shooter (tMR)
Mobile - Talking Tom Jetski (tMR)

No further submissions to these games or any other game published by Outfit7 Limited will be accepted anywhere on the network.

Not exactly a DMCA takedown, but the developers of Sonic Robo Blast 2 have stated in the past that they don't want their sprites hosted elsewhere.
