This is a legal issue. It's not a joke. It looks like LayerVault's founder turned quickly to legal bullying in a situation where he apparently has little to no justification. Just responding to and dealing with a DMCA notice like this would cost hundreds or thousands of dollars in attorney fees.
People who drag others into expensive, unwarranted legal situations are a blight on the entrepreneurial community.
- dangrossman 14y ago> Just responding to and dealing with a DMCA notice like this would cost hundreds or thousands of dollars in attorney fees No, responding to and dealing with a DMCA notice takes 5 minutes and a couple keystrokes. You send a counternotice, a simple e-mail you can copy and paste from any number of examples. There are no attorneys fees until there's an actual lawsuit, and there's never going to be one here.
- integraton 14y agoLegal issues should be dealt with by attorneys, period. Mishandled legal issues can, and frequently do, become very messy and expensive.
