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.
