The timing of this seems odd to me. Why now, of all times? Is Inspeqtor getting too big or stealing too many Monit customers?

It's also a little strange that the tweet Monit references as being demonstrative of intent happened six months ago [0]. If that was really the issue, shouldn't they have issued the DMCA takedown then, instead of waiting so long?

I think we have about 24 hours before the DMCA's version of the Streisand effect kicks in.

They saw it on HackerNews about a week ago, and it took this long for their lawyers to research, make a case, and do the paperwork.

Even if you become aware of something today, you can always use historical tweets as evidence.

Ah, I didn't realize it'd recently surfaced on HN. That makes sense, then.
