Does copyright law bar the posting of unflattering cease and desist letters?
From Paul Alan Levy @ Consumer Law & Policy Blog: Last fall, Greg Beck blogged here about a law firm’s cease and desist letter that demanded suppression of consumer criticisms of Direct Buy, and closed with a threat to sue for copyright if the recipient of the letter had the audacity to post the cease and desist letter on his web site. Although the widespread discussion that followed this posting (including a fair amount of ridicule) apparently had the effect of inducing the firm to leave such threats out of future letters, the firm’s proprietor, John Dozier, can’t let go of his theory that such a copyright suit could be brought and not laughed out of court.
