Lawsuit from who?
Apple preventing a third party from granting unauthorized access to their servers?
Or Beeper for attempting something that is protected by the DMCA?
Reverse engineering for the purpose of interoperability is legal under DMCA.
TIL, that is very neat
Which is exactly what they’ve done.
That particular defense has historically been a little shaky. That said since it’s a corporation that would be using it in this case instead of some random hacker (in the MIT sense) or Chinese company it would have a better chance of holding up in court.
I’m betting though that Apple won’t even bother with trying a DMCA based suit, but rather will argue some kind of TOS violations.
