Ask HN: Zillow is trying to acquire my app + domain for "a couple hundred bucks", advice? 17 years ago
Very interesting discussion, so I followed up and asked Zillow for their thoughts on the matter.
Here's what their spokeswoman just told me:
"He misused our trademark and we had to follow up. He's welcome to continue using our API as long as he doesn't infringe upon our trademarks and use the brand name Zillow. As per his post - it's not a complete representation of our correspondence with him. This is about defending Zillow's trademark, nothing else."
