Perhaps more realistically, we want to be so credible and widely used that merely publishing the C&D letter on the main page will cause the foolhardy company to get deluged with hate mail and backpedal within 24 hours, disavowing any knowledge of the law firm that sent the letter. We've shown we can raise thousands of dollars within a few days just by asking; that's a reservoir of good will that can help us deal with a wide variety of threats.
I would suggest against any form of vigilantism. Apart from anything else sooner or latter you run into someone who doesn't care. Then you are in real trouble.
Indeed. The first sniff of endorsement of that kind of thuggery and I'll be gone, for one.
Publishing a takedown notice is vigilantism?
