Yup. Here's how I understand the flow of events:

  1. YouTube hears about Grayjay app
  2. YouTube sends threatening letter
  3. Rossmann responds, essentially saying: we never agreed to your TOS and we don't use your API
  4. crickets
  5. Repeat step 1

I doubt this will go anywhere unless Grayjay gets popular, at which point we'll see the lawyers gear up for a lawsuit.
