Bethesda Sends Copyright Infringement Notice Over Free Skyrim Map App

The creator of the free map app Dragon Shout for Skyrim (which now also offers its social add-on functionality for free) has been served a notice of copyright infringement (one step below a cease & desist) by Bethesda. The app’s creator states he worked to avoid any such infringement, and has not received clarification on what exactly he is infringing upon, Touch Arcade reports.

In an e-mail to us, Blalock says that Apple isn’t making him remove the app, as “ZeniMax didn’t specify what the app is specifically violating.” Blalock hasn’t received a C&D yet and notes that he’s e-mailed ZeniMax several times to try to clarify what the app is violating.

“I did my best to ensure the app was not violating anything,” creator Blalock tells TouchArcade. “I looked up US trademarks and copyrights for ‘Dragon Shout’ and at the time there wasn’t any. I had the map hand drawn. I intentionally didn’t use any graphics or wording that would possibly be owned by Bethesda. So, I’m still not sure what they say the app violates.”
