A few minutes ago, I sent a fourth email to Tumblr’s General Counsel indicating that I would not stop distribution nor comply with the some of the requirements set out in his original message to me (on 09/02) within the 10 day deadline he specified (which expires at the end of business today).
In addition, I have reiterated my requests for information regarding specific Tumblr policies that would be used as grounds for the punitive action of deleting my personal Tumblr account should I continue to distribute Missing e without acquiescing to their requirements (as I was told would be their intention by phone).
As before, the contents of this email and all recent exchanges with Tumblr are available for you to view on the Missing e website. Click here to read more.

Background
Two weeks ago, as per my request, I received an official written communication from Tumblr’s General Counsel requesting I comply with their requirements for Missing e. While this letter did not specifically mention the punitive action of deleting my personal Tumblr account if I do not stop distribution (as I was told would be their recourse in a conference call with Tumblr staff two weeks ago), it did outline some specific issues that the company has with Missing e.
Since then, I have contacted Tumblr’s General Counsel a number of times to clarify some misconceptions regarding Missing e, assert my position on the applicability of the Tumblr API License Agreement and the freedom of users to install and use brwoser extensions, as well as to request specific information regarding the grounds for which they will delete my personal account for what are purported to be violations of their API License Agreement, as this action is not based on that agreement.
In the interest of transparency, I have published this email exchange on the Missing e website for users and other interested parties to read. Please note that the discussion (for my part, at least) is ongoing.

I do not agree with their interpretation of their own policies and the applicability of the Tumblr API License Agreement, and I replied as such. However, I have also made some changes to the extension based on their feedback and attempted to correct what I believe are misconceptions evident in some of the other claims they make regarding Missing e. I have also requested more information regarding the grounds for which they will delete my personal account for what are purported to be violations of their API License Agreement, as this action is not based on that agreement.
