The "bullying" aspect of this is interesting to me. Would taking VC money from a big player help me in such a situation. Let's say for arguments sake I am backed by a16z. Is it usually part of the deal that they provide their legal muscle in these spots or am I on my own? What would happen if a YC company (pre-funding) gets threatened in this manner? Edit: Nevermind didn't realize it is a YC company (summer of 2015 batch).
