Outing Lawyers

How are lawyers going to continue to harrass us when we can publish thier horrible demands on the Internet?

Take the case of a letter to a family in an RIAA suit, saying that they’ll be given 60 days to grieve, before continuing a suit against the estate of a deceased file sharing culprit.

A legal threat can infringe on a person’s rights, if they cannot afford to meet that threat in court, due to limits of money or time. These sorts of legal shake downs are more difficult when people can make a story of a legal outrage, as in the case of The Shops at Willow Bend.

Is it in any way wrong to post a letter that is sent to you?

Something to keep in mind as we are all going to be facing people with a lot of money to spend on a lot of lawyers as we rebuild New Orleans.
