our first lawsuit!
...and our response!

We got a letter in March 2008 from some bigshot lawfirm in New York. We were accused of copyright infringement, which is absolutely ridiculous since I watched the guys make this entire website from scratch. Anyway, this is the letter, which seems to be a pretty generic cease and desist legal form.

Our response. It's been about a month and we have not heard back from them.

I have consulted with my brother in regards to your letter. He shared your letter with his law firm. Four corporate lawyers spent eight hours reviewing it. When they told me they had good news, I bought them all beer and invited them over. They spent the afternoon drinking and entertaining me with their college stories. I wore a low cut shirt and jean shorts.

While they were over, they advised me to respond to you, and tell you to go fuck yourself. You see, my older brother saw me help develop this code from the ground up; and his coworkers all see me as “Dan’s little sister” and were personally offended by your lack of scruples when attacking this defenseless girl.

They told me to post your letter on our website. The purpose is to bait your fraudulent, gold-digging client into a huge legal battle. This is because they looked up your client, and found he has a history of frivolous lawsuits. Since my group has backups of all of our code and writing, if your client brings us to court, “we will embarrass him.” My lawyers said they will represent me pro bono for the entertainment value.
