The argument for both sides are valid. My use of 'brilliant' to describe this story and the emotions attached cone from a personal experience with a C&D letter; my sister's fledgling in-house one-employee business was served a C&D letter for a naming dispute that had very little legal basis. However, my sister did not have the legal experience or money to fight this battle. Fortunately her business is thriving now, but it caused her countless sleepless nights and anxiety, so when I saw this article my first reaction was to send it to her.
