You actually helped me to disprove what blaz has said. Thanks you very much.

Contrary to your surprise, it was done intentionally. While the corporations may provide responses to the legal threats, whenever they are legally required, the reality is most of these responses do not address the issues raised.

(Note - These responses are generally admissible evidence. Most corporations decide not to address because of legal reasons.)

Without going too much personal detail, AFAIK - less than 10% of corporations will ever respond directly to the threats.

Without going too much personal detail, this is absolutely wrong IME.

BTW - it is also illegal.
