Following our coverage of pirated mobile games on Nokia’s MOSH service, Chad Nishimura responded about how to remove your mobile games from the service.
As Chad explains to us, the MOSH service runs under Nokia’s “Safe Harbor” philosophy. This means Nokia does not actively look for any abusement of the MOSH service and so let’s consumers take the right of uploading illegal content in their own hand (much like the Dutch drugs policies). This is on one hand very positive to stimulate growth of the service but as seen it also means developers and publishers are loosing money very fast as the service becomes popular.
As Piracy of mobile games is a hot issue at Nokia, Chad explains that developers and publishers are free to spend time to index the MOSH database to track down their own mobile games and claim them. The mobile games will then be removed and if a user repeats this habit, Nokia will terminate the entire account of that user.
To get your software removed from the service, please go to this link to find out how to contact the MOSH team.
Right, so I will have to free up manhours to check if Nokia is not giving away my software for free now!? MOSH is just the best alternative to P2P it seems as it’s mobile game sharing made to fit. Never thought Nokia would be the one to give me cramps about piracy…
