Sites Fight Back On Baseless Legal
Threats 09/17/2004 06:47 AM
In the past year and a half, Techdirt has received five or six threats of legal action for things written on the site (one time we even received two completely separate legal threats on the same day -- which actually was quite confusing). None of these went very far, as a quick review of every situation showed they were baseless. In every case, the threats involved statements (usually in the comments) that someone didn't want to be out there, but which were clearly perfectly legal. What most of those doing the threatening failed to realize was that if legal action was taken, the first thing that would happen would be a public discussion of what was happening -- meaning a random comment from years ago on the site that no one looked at any more, would suddenly get a lot more attention (see: Streisa nd, Barbara). Anyway, it looks like more sites (especially in the blog realm) are learning not to freak out every time they get a cease & desist letter, but to push back, and even publicize the threats. At some point, lawyers will wise up and realize that baseless legal threats, with the hope that the legalese will scare a non-lawyer, have a very high likelihood of backfiring in a big way.

I want Microsoft to play by the rules and, because of Microsoft's Windows monopoly, those rules should be stricter than those applied to other software companies. But I don't want Microsoft forced to stop adding new features to Windows simply to satisfy disgruntled competitors who would rather litigate than innovate.
