Is that a Cease & Desist order?

Listen to article

While the Digg fanboys are fighting over the Cease and Desist order sent by Digg’s lawyers to the owner of DiggGames.com over some trademark concerns and a $100,000 fee in damages, I too got a letter from some law firm.

Aw, I thought it was nice of them to send me a letter threatening to sue me if I don’t do what they want me to do. Now, now, this isn’t the first time I get these kinds of threat but geez, they should do some more researching first before they ask me to bend over.

The Ca t and Connie dutifully helped me draft a reply letter (I’m really glad to have lots of blawger friends… hehehe).

Wait, does the 2000 e-Commerce law say anything about obligations and responsibilities of a (duly registered ) Philippine web hosting provider?

I heard about this, but your post is the best explanation of it. Most other blogs I have read don’t know what they are talking about. However, I must say that your blog is very informative…I am subscribing to your RSS feed right now! Thanks!

Hi Abe. The E-Commerce Law or Republic Act 8792 has a provision on the “Extent of Liability of a Service Provider.”

Take note of Section 5.j and 30 of the E-Commerce Law.
