At the end of the day, this is a contractual dispute, and if Skype/eBay
got into a bad-for-them agreement with Joltid, and then tried to get
around it technically, and Joltid caught wind of it and asked them to
stop, and they didn't, then the law system seems to be working correctly.
I'm sure that Skype will survive in some way or another, and if it
doesn't, something else will rise up from the ashes. Maybe the founders
of Skype who are now Joltid planned it this way and got away with the
contract Joltid signed with Skype that greatly benefitted them to the
point where Skype could no longer exist, leaving a big hole for Joltid to
jump into with their Skype-killing product.
Sketchy, maybe unethical even if my supposition is true, but legal
nonetheless.
