Lawyers Send Anticipatory Cease and Desist Letters to Bloggers over World Cup

Posted By Darren Rowse 4th of June 2006 Pro Blogging News

I’ve known a few bloggers to get cease and desist letters from lawyers from time to time but today I saw a first – a preemptive one to Boing Boing around the anticipation that BB will stream FIFA World Cup matches.

Now there’s a great way to engage the blogging community!

I wonder how they decided which blogs to send that letter to and how many other bloggers might have received them.
