What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
I received a cease/desist notice from a well know company stating that it was brought to their attention that I had ebay listings with their product. I was told I was infringing on their copyright and to respond within 5 days. Like an idiot I did, thus proving I did have the listings. I emailed the sender back stating that I had already removed the listing, but they sent back this response:
--- demands that you confirm the following contact information to us in relation to this matter: full name, address, phone number(s), email address(es).
Unless ---- is satisfied by your response, we reserve all rights to seek all appropriate legal and equitable relief arising out of your violation of United States law, including compensatory, statutory and/or punitive damages. Furthermore, ----- is entitled to enjoin your illegal activities and disgorge any profits generated by your unlawful sales of counterfeit materials.
I sent one more reply asking if I was being prosecuted for anything and I received this reply:
At this time, we would like to leave this matter outside the hands of law enforcement and handle it directly with you. You can send the information to the following address:----
It sounds like they just want my information. I have consulted a personal fried (who is a lawyer) and he said not to worry and not to send my info. I am worried since I did sell a few of the products on ebay, even though I immediately refunded the software. I did not share this information, but I worry that sending my personal info will only give this company more leverage on me than it now has and possibly lead to extortion.
Thanks for reading this, I know it was long
