Talk:Apple iPhone Application infringes on Bulbapedia license

Block It

Put up a line in the .htaccess that catches the user agent and sends them to a "You've been ripped off" page or something. --Navarr 02:01, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Good idea.--Mtn otter 11:42, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

But it won't necessarily work; a browser (Pokedex App is one, in a way) can set its user agent to pretty much anything; they can imitate a known browser so the blocking of the user agent would also affect innocent people using normal software. UltimateSephiroth 15:14, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Lawsuit?

Is there any way we could sue IPhone for this?--Mtn otter 12:04, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Can Bulbapedia report this issue to Apple? --Swampert 12:33, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Add a random Recaptcha

Each time a Pokemon page is accessed, call a Recaptcha. Then set a cookie for i.e 15 minutes. When the cookie expires, display the recaptcha again. Or just display it once. Let's see them implement Recaptcha in that tiiiiny screen. >:)

It won't be easy because they'll need to implement all the Javascript stuff, and then post to Recaptcha. They'll need to display the captcha, the textbox AND the keyboard as well.
