Lawyer Writes Best Ever Response To Cease & Desist Letter
LOL. Brave response.
Imagine, if you will, your client gets a cease and desist letter. Except you believe in your heart and soul it’s bullshit. There’s no basis for the DMCA takedown — the opposing side probably even knows it, but they’re hoping a quick C&D letter will scare your client into taking it down. (Honestly, you know that’s how a lot of these go down, especially as major corporations’ default is just to remove the subject of the takedown letter regardless of the merits of the underlying claim.)
Given that, would you be as brave as attorney Mike Dunford? In the face of a DMCA takedown notice over the word “LAPD” (his client was selling “FUCK THE LAPD” shirts), Dunford had two words.
LOL, no.

Now I’ve got two words for Dunford: fucking brilliant.
