A cease and desist doesn't mean you have to stop doing everything it says. It only means you should comply with the law.

- xuki 9mo agoYou don't want to spend time and money to fight with a $350B company.
- direwolf20 9mo agoIf that's your logic they can make you do anything they like. They can ask you for $100m "because I said so" and you'll comply to avoid spending $200m on lawyers.
- kube-system 9mo agoUsually it doesn't take $200m to prove that "because I said so" isn't a valid claim of damages. But otherwise, you've got the math right. Settling is typically advised when the cost to litigate is expected to be more than the cost to settle.
- habinero 9mo agoYeah. That'd exactly how it works. It's why having strong anti-SLAPP laws is critical.
