Mazda is angry a customer used an API in a manner they couldn't control. You can read the DMCA takedown notice here.

Yep, this looks like a blatant abuse of the DMCA by Mazda. Either Mazda is engaging in scummy behavior or they need better lawyers. Either way, it makes me want to never buy another Mazda.

I’ve already added them to my internal list of bad actors I won’t work with.
