What's the legal standing of a C&D letter?
I seem to remember reading something about barrantry (the practice of maliciously filing frivolous lawsuits) being an offence/legitimate grounds for civil action in the USA.
Why haven't I read about Champions of the Free World taking the offensive agains this sort of crap (along with over-zealous DCMA enforcement bots etc. etc) with an agressive counter sue alleging barrantry and seeking punitive damages?
