morgandawn has posted very helpful, step-by-step advice on
fandom_lawyers about what to do after you're served a C&D or take down notice:
Fannish Guide to Legal Notices: C&D Letters/Take Down Notices.
I know a few members of my friends list have been subject to Cease & Desist Orders in the past and that they had to figure out what the hell to do all by themselves, with a minimum of assistance from people who really didn't know what they were doing anyway. I wish this link had been available to you a few years ago, when it seemed like everyone was being slapped with them. I'd recommend filing this one in your LJ memories, just incase.
Kudos to
heidi8 for the heads up.
