anyone ever receive a cease and desist for a domain you've owned? i've received one but after talking to a few copyright/trademark and internet lawyers they said I have a good case if they try to sue me for it.

there's no trade/copyright for the name of the domain i own, just a well know famous person/company who has used the name but didn't bother to register the domain or anything. i'm not even worried i don't plan on handing over the domain like the demanded and i'm willing to go to court and sue for my time wasted and legal fees if i win.

so who has fought for a domain, and who has just willingly given it up? from my understanding cease and desist letters cost like $150 to have sent out by a lawyer and its usually done to scare you into doing what they want even if they have no real case.
