What is the worst thing that can happen if you stop responding?

  Being found in contempt of court. Penalty range from a slap on the wrist to jail time.

  This article is pretty good: https://www.cades.com/2022/07/11/third-party-subpoenas-whos-going-to-pay-for-that/ https://www.cades.com/2022/07/11/third-party-subpoenas-whos-... Basically it goes like this: -they send you a subpoena, you kinda try to respond -they tell you they want more documents and your response is insufficient, and they threaten that the subpoena is issued with the authority of the court and contempt is a potential remedy etc -if you get really annoyed, you threaten to (or actually move to) quash the subpoena -Ultimately the judge is supposed to determine whether, based on the resources available to you, the subpoena is causing you "significant expense." If it is, the judge needs to ensure the expense isn't too significant by working with you. If you're being careful and paying a lawyer for all of this, this can be pretty damn expensive to go through. I guess in theory if you just fire from the hip yourself and try to learn the rules (probably not advised) you could be OK, but then you risk making little errors that Amazon will blast you and your testmiony with.
