Imgur would be dead on day 1 if copyright law worked remotely close to what Hitler and Associates are suggesting.

It's a company with no doubt actual lawyers who are perfectly aware of how spurious the claim is and probably ignore a whole bunch of those regularly. When you go after a smaller site there's a bigger chance the owner doesn't know this and is bullied into paying by scary legal threats.

when you attempt to extort money from hundreds of websites a day, and when it is your minimum wage clerks doing it, it becomes hard to remember who you've tried to gently caress before

Reading her response carefully, she "was given" her name by her dead aunt, not "named after" her.

"Shauntece" could just as easily be the name of the Sybian that killed her.

It's a shame that there's been no follow-up. Unless of course they are drafting a monster email about dead aunts and how the best legal minds in the world will join forces to take down a comedy website that posted a picture of Hitler. Either way, this is top-shelf stuff.

Even if you tell them to gently caress off, it only takes them a minute to reply with some nonsensical "I'm escalating the issue to our hyperlitigation subcommittee, sir, are you sure this is your final statement?" message, and if it causes only a small fraction of people to crack, it's still a net benefit. If the victim doesn't budge, it's no big loss at all.

There won’t be a followup. It got passed up to an actual paralegal or lawyer that trashed it.
