There is no record of Jon Katz going out and tracking down people who bought his book who lend it or give it to others for them to enjoy so he can "capture royalties"!

Real people discuss things as a way to resolve differences: they don't go out of their way to intimidate the defenseless. This is just an example of how to abuse people with lawyers.
