one day i will do a conference talk on how to as effectively as possible fuck with corporate lawyers and waste their time + corpo resources without consequences but i don't think now is the time yet
@maia I'm reminded of a little conflict I had with a company when I was 18, who demanded that I took down my hobby project because it was eating their userbase
Eventually they tried to basically acquihire me. After repeatedly threatening me with legal action. You'd think that they understand that that's not really the correct order if you want someone on your side, and yet
@maia Oh yeah and I just kept replying to their formal legalese letters with similar legalese bullshit via e-mail that boiled down to "lol. fuck off", eventually threatening to sue them for harassment if they continued contacting me
The next letter I got was from a different lawyer office entirely, and it was the last one I received, and nothing ever came of it
@maia@crimew.gay
@joepie91 i have dealt with some of the biggest US legal firms (including like wilmer-hale and shit) and it just absolutely doesn't matter who they send or how much they pay, as long as you can call their bullshit they have absolutely no power
