[QUOTE=Happy;7243059]What do you mean "I lawyered this myself"...


/QUOTE]

Well, I am a lawyer (though I don't normally work on anything like this sort of thing) and I did a little research and wrote a strong letter asserting several defenses and potential counterclaims and ultimately they dropped the claim. I am not suggesting that this would always work; I think it would depend largely on the particular facts.
If you'd like further information, PM me.
