Cease And Desist letters

Cease & Desist Letters We Have Received

Lawyers seem to love Cease & Desist Letters but they don't seem to put much research into the facts behind them.
We have received Cease & Desist letters alleging defamation about postings on our website from lawyers representing Grand West Financial, Rocky Mountain Construction, and Sykel Fabrics. We also have a Colorado Court of Appeals decision directly concerning our website and how it falls under the First Amendment as protected speech.

If you are a lawyer contemplating sending us a Cease & Desist letter, you should delve deeply into the facts before signing your name to it. Trust us, it will not scare us.

"(Meadors and Dudnikov) contend that the website constitutes protected speech or press under the First Amendment. We agree."

Sykel Fabrics & Sy Garfinkel

Who is Sykel Fabrics and their moron president, Sy Garkinkel? Sykel markets a variety of fabrics. They don't want their fabrics re-sold on the internet unless the re-seller uses a specific disclaimer and they, Sykel and Sy garfinkel, hound and threaten re-sellers into complying. But, there is no legal requirement for anyone to comply with the outrageous demands of Sy Garfinkel and we have told him so. We also nomintated him for the Pompous Twit of the Year Award, which we are happy to report, he was the unanamous winner for 2005. We also put Sy and his company on our Trademark Hall of Shame. Sy had his New York lawyer threaten us.
