Re: Off Forum: Trillian
Until now, they've been able to release patches to get around AOL blocks. This time, they periodically check every connection, and make sure that it's the AOL-sponsored client. If it isn't, then it's booted from the network. So Cerulean basically has to clone AIM, and figure out how to mesh it with Trillian. Once that happens, I have no doubt that AOL/Time Warner will tell all their drones to get a new Version of AIM, as part of a "network upgrade". Then begins a cycle of Cerulean creating AIM-clones, and AOL/Time Warner changing the network, until: A. Trillian gets squashed; B. AOL/Time Warner voluntarilly gives in to an integrated IM network not controlled by them; or C. the FCC steps in and forces either A or B.
Any way that it happens, it ain't gonna be pretty.
