I was planning to write this evening about Cease and Desist notices, what they are used for and my opinions about how to assess them and respond. Instead, I have something far more interesting for you; one of J Mark Brewer's Cease and Desist notices itself.
Sam Norton runs the blog "Elizaphanian". He is one of the Bloggers in receipt of "Cease and Desist" notices from J Mark Brewer, who runs the Saint Stephen the Great organisation.
On July 26th, Sam noted that he had been sent a "Cease and Desist" notice by Mark Brewer:
For the record, I've been 'served' a cease and desist as well...
Now he has taken legal advice, and decided to publish the entire correspondence. Below I have reproduced the entire correspondence.
