Reply #56: You are stretching the truth here to the breaking point,

And possibly beyond.

A cease and desist letter IS a threat. No, it isn't sticking a gun upside your head, but it is a threat of legal action to come if you don't "cease and desist".

And just because RS changed their headline, then changed it back doesn't mean that they are being somehow deceptive. I think it is more of a sign that they have a factchecker who found, like the vast numbers of posters on this thread, that a cease and desist order is indeed a threat.

Perhaps you too should employ a factchecker on this matter, since you can't seem to grasp the concept that a cease and desist order is indeed a threat. I would recomend that you call up a local copyright attorney. Or check into copyright law. Or ask a paralegal. Or ask a first year law student. Etc. Etc.

Give it a break. Please.
