There are sound reasons why this can't be the case, but it sure would be nice if anti-SLAPP laws[1] were also able to cover these kinds of petty intimidation maneuvers by huge corporations.
(It would probably be impossible to weave a statute that prevents this kind of bullying while also enabling legitimate uses of C&D letters. So this is entirely fantasy.)

- phendrenad2 3y agoThere are plenty of laws that only apply to companies over a certain size. Maybe force publicly-traded companies to publish a list of all C&Ds they have sent. Make it transparent who are the biggest bullies. A lack of imagination is no excuse here.
