This chick issued a cease and desist on one of my sites today, over something that didn't even mention her name or anything harmful to her "character"..

To: contact @ datingweird.com
From: [REMOVED]
Subject: Cease and Desist On DatingWeird.com Website Content Item


Dear DatingWeird.com:

It has come to my attention that you have made slanderous and libelous comments regarding an incident that happened earlier this month on your website on October 1 2009. The article in question is;

http://www.datingweird.com/view/Funny/18

I have concluded that this story is regarding me and another party. This is clearly slanderous material and defames my character.

As you neither asked for nor received permission to use this story on your website, nor to make or distribute copies, including electronic copies, of same, I believe you have willfully infringed my rights under 17 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. and could be liable for statutory damages as high as $150,000 as set forth in Section 504(c) (2) therein.

I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing material, and all works derived from the material, and all copies, including electronic copies, of same, that you deliver to me, if applicable, all unused, undistributed copies of same, or destroy such copies immediately and that you desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future.

If I have not received an affirmative response from you by November 5th, 2009 indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements, I shall take further action against you.


Very truly yours,

[REMOVED]


WTF!. Here's what our reply to this insane crock of shit was

I'm sorry to hear that you're ceasing and desisting us for what actually happens to be a rather hilarious story. However, I'm sure that you probably don't feel the same. I can't help but wonder what it's like to walk into your favorite bar and have the majority of the clientele try not to smell all at the same time.

Or what it must have been like when they took your favorite chair and put plastic wrap over it like all the furniture at Grandma's house. But one thing is clear to me like that wrap: You've been to the brink. You've clenched your ass cheeks together and failed. From here on out, you'll know the feeling of existance just before you shit yourself.


This is the feeling I'm sure came flooding back to you as you sat in your high powered office, and wrote up this letter on your high powered stationary. However, I can't help but wonder why the fuck you'd try to bring attention to this. Prior to this it was just some made up bullshit on a website, about some person who shit themselves.

Now, we know that person is you. Forgive the term, but you've started a shitstorm. Now, it's not just some local bar people that know about your shit-capades. It's the whole internet. Congratulations, you're now the shit-queen of the internet.


Sincerely,
DatingWeird.

P.S. What are you doing friday night?

Maybe stupid people will fall for your fake viral campaign, but I think it's pretty obvious you're bullshitting.

... don't your normally have to actually name the person or business to be a target of a defamation suit?

I'm with the rest, you're not only the shit-queen of the net, but bullshit-king... I guess a really shitty hermaphrodite... god its too late at night for me to be creative.
 
The story itself on your site screams fake.

Strangely, your post here was much better written.
 
These are like the post apocalyptic days of linkbait on WF, it's a hard road.

I give him credit because unlike me, who would've gone down swinging insisting it was real, he owned up.

IANAL, but(t),

If a person is discernible for a party outside of the direct communication from the facts given in the story, then it's open to libel suits.
Even though it's bullshit, the story gives a few facts: profession, regular at a certain venue, geographic location, certain personality traits.
From these, if the story were true, other people at the bar would be able to discern who this person was, and then it becomes libelous. Merely relaying the story to people orally at the bar would be slander, although if you live in a state where truth of slanderous material is a defence to slander, then you're fine.
If you're really lucky, you might live in a state that requires the complainant to be able to prove that they actually are the specific target of the material... which would provide even more fodder for the site, if true.

For anyone familiar with law, it's instantly spotted as untrue because a lawyer would not mention slander in a C&D for something that's transmitted through a communication medium, but rather over the recounting of the story in the bar.
