    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?

        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.
