the fact that NRDB had API functionality sufficient to enable a Chrome Extension should be explanation enough of why it got shut down. Indiscriminate distribution of copyrighted material is supposed to be tolerable to a company?

This argument doesn't hold water for me because the material was already made available by said company.

Unfortunately it is the case though.

For example, Kevin MacLeod makes incredible open-license music that anyone can use for any reason (with attribution). EXCEPT for distributing that music yourself in a manner that isn't "hey, look how cool this is".

It's legally taking ownership of it and that's what's happened here. Distributing from your own server with API is very different from sharing.

It's a shame they didn't just ask for the API to be removed, or for watermarks to be added.

I guess they panicked after Jinteki, made a poor knee-jerk decision and now have to follow through on it.

I get it. Except that argument doesn't really hold water when you look at other games and other extensions. For instance Autocard Anywhere does similar popups for "Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Hearthstone, Netrunner, Cardfight!!Vanguard, Legend of the Five Rings, My Little Pony, Solforge, World of Warcraft TCG and Dominion."

I've gone ahead and struck out Netrunner because that is the only one not working anymore.

You don't see WotC, a huge company with its own online play, deckbuilding, and a database shutting down magiccards.info, or gatheringmagic, or tappedout, or any other deckbuilders, databases, or secondary markets out there. They understand that fansites are good for the community overall. They made one misstep when they sued the user Rancored_Elf for spoiling magic cards well ahead of release, but they've since remedied that situation by posting new card spoilers as soon as they appear anywhere, and said misstep was in 2005 or something when people still didn't quite understand how potent the Internet could be. Other than that I'm pretty sure they just send C&Ds for free online play like Cockatrice, which is totally understandable and justified. FFG could learn something from their super-successful competition.
