Veamcast Corp Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Roku Inc.

▤ Summary

The complaint alleges that Roku engaged in anticompetitive behavior and concept theft, disabling functionality in third-party apps that competed with its own features and stealing concepts from Veamcasts app after gaining intelligence through its developer program. "This is the third time I personally have experienced these types of offenses," said Joe Dean, Veamcast founder. As part of its public awareness campaign, Veamcast has created videos highlighting what it sees as anti-competitive behavior in the tech industry. These videos, which feature music from well-known artists, are referenced in the lawsuit documentation. Veamcast is a Florida-based technology startup developing video, voice, and photo sharing apps since 2010.
