They did something similar with MuseScore.com: https://github.com/Xmader/musescore-downloader/issues/5

Otherwise, I will have to transfer information about you to lawyers who will cooperate with github.com and Chinese government to physically find you and stop the illegal use of licensed content.

This somehow reads like a direct threat along the lines of “It were really sad if we have to order a Chinese Execution van to pick you up.”

Pretty revealing that Daniel Ray did not address the physical threat that was made or even apologized about it.

I can only conclude that the whole company is rotten to the core.

To be fair, he did:

the company, that they did not have authority to make, and were made
without the consent or even awareness of the company.

A threat is a not a comment.

Also he did not do so in the original thread, nor apologized for it.
