>People keep talking about having "your lawyer" do something as if everyone just walks around with a personal pet lawyer and I never understood it. "My dentist" also isn't my personal pet, but it's the dentist I go to. Neither am I my dentist's pet for being "their customer". I'm sure you also know some professionals that you trust and have some sort of relationship with. >Are you suggesting that you should hire a law firm at $1000/hour to mildly annoy some website..? Not really. But there's usually people who do it for the good cause and later take it to court, often backed by nonprofits. Also that cost is insane, it should absolutely top out at 300 euro/hour. Some specialized lawyers charge a flat amount to send such standard requests.
