Your wrong.
Yes, you can have any attorney write a letter. But this isn't "any attorney". However, which larger companies..... Legal fees cost us a lot of money. If they are serious about it here's what they should do:
1) Fire off a nice email telling the offending party to grow up.
2) Have an attorney write a letter. At this point the company is out a few hundred bucks....
3) If they are serious about it, they start a lawsuit and once a lawsuit starts it won't stop until money changes hand. If it takes me $10K to take someone to court, you had better bet I'm going to get damges to cover my legal expenses and then some.
I wouldn't be surprised if companies make a profit off of this shit.
Recently Lightspeed Media was contact by Jenna's clan about our Jenna's XXX Live Cam. The domain name we had was
www.jennasxxxlivecam.com . I can see how this didn't sit well with Jenna and her group. We contacted them, discussed without going through the legal crap, and we ended up buying a new domain name:
www.jennielovessex.com. Problem solved. In fact, we even turned over the old domain name to them since it was now useless to us.
These companies MUST be strict in protecting their copyrights and trademarks. Otherwise, when a big case comes up and they do need to go to court they can prove they have protected their trademarks and copyrights.
