Winamp deletes entire GitHub source code repo after a rocky few weeks

This story is analogous to a landowner and a group of neighborhood kids. The landowner allows the kids to play baseball in his field, but then the kids complain the grass is not cut, they are playing late into the evening, a few kids vandalize damage his flower bed, and his lawyers tell him he will be sued if he doesn't make all these safety changes, and so the landowner says screw it and puts up a fence.

Rather in this analogy the landowner didn’t own all of the field and somehow the kids get blamed for him failing to keep track of what he does and does not own.
