- codingdave 5y agoWhat legal fees? It costs you nothing to ignore the posturing of bullies.
- WJW 5y agoIgnoring the posturing of lawyers on the other hand can be plenty expensive.
- antonzabirko 5y agoThat part yes, but what do you do once you get served? What do you do when you need to respond in court?
- klyrs 5y agoWhat? Failure to heed a legal threat can result in a lawsuit. Failure to appear can result in a default judgement against you. Appearing in court without adequate representation isn't much safer. Appearing with adequate representation is probably out of OP's budget.
- sseagull 5y agoYou can ignore the stuff from the CEO, yes. But once you get a letter from a lawyer you should at least have a lawyer look it over and possibly draft a response. It can sometimes hard to tell frivolous vs. serious letters, and ignoring a serious one is not a good idea. Given any sort of emotional attachment to your business, and lack of legal experience, you might not be the best person to judge the situation.
- enraged_camel 5y agoThe point is that aggressive litigation is a common tactic large companies use to bully smaller players, because they know that the smaller players don't have the resources for extended legal battles.
- jcrites 5y agoYou don't have contact information listed in your profile. I posted a comment in this thread offering to pay for your legal fees (and many people, upon seeing my comment, contacted me offering to help). It'd be helpful if you could publish your contact info in your HN profile too.
