Odd, because I run a successful business.
My advice isn't to be taken in a vacuum (I assumed people would understand the primary point, i.e., time is money). Of course, if you are receiving take down requests everyday from models, then yes, you analyze the situation (and costs) accordingly. But that doesn't sound like the case from the OP, i.e., he received a single letter on law firm letterhead from a single model.
And of course, when you analyze the "cost" you obviously consider the cost it takes to "take down", especially if the image is on multiple sites (e.g., affiliates).
Next time I'll use crayons and pictures (and perhaps an abucus) so you can see the point a little more clearer.
