My non-expert take on this:

Haier claims these plugins cause the firm significant financial damage

Don't care. Competition is not damage.

violate copyright laws

Prove it.

plug-ins developed by you [...] that are in violation of our terms of service

The plug-ins never agreed to your ToS. Better sue your customers instead.

Hijacking the comment to say: Fork the shit out of this repo immediately. Fuck Haier.

Yeah they have no legal basis for their ridiculous claims and demands. This company is just full of shit.

It is likely costing them more from whatever cloud service their platform is hosted on.

But, that's on them for not putting locks on their api.
