I think if I received the same C&D, I'd email it to my retained lawyer and ask for advice. I think I would expect to be advised I should comply fully and without undue delay. And I think that's exactly what I would then proceed to do. (I also think we're talking past one another, which tends to happen when I participate in discussions like this. I'm not a lawyer, but when you spend long enough sleeping with someone who is, it's amazing what you pick up - and how many silly notions originating in the assumption that 'law is really just a kind of code, right?' you find yourself perhaps ungently disabused of.)
