1) The lawyer is in-house, apparently. Maybe he bills by the hour, but I'm guessing not?
2) By providing a lengthy, specific c&d letter I'm guessing they get more leverage in settlement. At present, the C&D hasn't really cost them much; they can weigh the EFF response and decide whether or not to invest more resources. What's the worst that can happen with such a C&D? either the defendant gets scared, or beefs up legal protection and Carrier drops the suit.

- jobu 15y agoIf their lawyer never thought beyond the client/defendant in this case then that lawyer should lose their job. The worst that can happen as a result of this C&D is 1) The Streisand Effect 2) Major news organizations smell blood in the water and decide to ramp up coverage 3) Lawsuits and Senate hearings If the WSJ picks this up like they did the UDID, you can say goodbye to Carrier and all of the data they collect.
