If you're operating any business/website/etc that relates[0] in any manner to the potential lawsuit - take it down now. Get a lawyer to review all your doings to see if there is the slightest chance of a potential claim.
I understand how ridiculous the threat might feel. But a sufficiently angry person can cause you a lot of trouble for no good reason. It's very likely there are simple actions you could take safeguard yourself. It might save you a lot of money in the long term. And very often even the major law firms will give you amazing free advice. Don't be afraid to call the best.
[0] And I mean relate in the broadest manner. It doesn't have to actually be related. If they could convince someone with a bit of handwaving that it's related then it's related. The truth doesn't matter.
- tylercubell 10y agoWhy should anything be taken down before consulting a lawyer? Wouldn't doing so have the potential to make the problem worse?
- auganov 10y agomandatory IANAL; Generally suing for past infringement is going to be tougher (assuming they didn't already notarize the evidence). Of course one shouldn't permanently delete anything. I wouldn't know if it can make it worse. I was assuming a dormant website sort-of-situation (which is what I had experience with).
