Are they sending out nastygrams, or are they filing lawsuits? There's a world of difference between the two. Pretty much anyone can send out nastygrams for any reason. (No doubt there are certain specific things you can can't say -- check with your lawyer.) Filing a lawsuit based on claims you know are bogus is legally actionable. As always, if this really matters to you, talk to a good lawyer. Dale
