The extent to which Messers Cease & Desist will be successful might depend on the physical location of the server that hosts your posts. Given your physical location, the location of the blog, the location of the poster, and the location of the service being complained about, figuring out where such a case would be adjudicated could be complex.

Fortunately, I am in the somewhat unique situation that I host my blog on my own server in my own data center! As such, I can be reasonably confident that my host is unlikely to bow to this empty legal huffing and puffing!

An important facet of this boilerplate letter is the spine of your blog’s host. Some hosts roll over with legalese threats.

Hey James, this seems to be the relevant legislation on the Irish statute books - good luck figuring it out!

Well, they are certainly showing a complete lack of understanding regarding not only the internet but public forums in general.

The next time that I’m at my favorite restaurant, I may say to Sarah, “I can’t recommend the stuffed chicken, it’s not their best dish.” I suppose that if this firm represents said restaurant too, I may be threatened with legal action and/or forced to make a public statement retracting my comments.

Unbelievable.

Is there any chance you could post “the provisions of Directive 2000/31/EC”? I’d love to see how far they’re stretching that.

The fact they’ve sent you a Word file with all the spelling and grammar markings left in rather than, say, rendering it to a PDF might be a clue as to their incompetence.

Yet another business that will learn the hard way thatt the Streisand Effect works at hyperspeed in a world of hyperlinks, Google and blogs. D’oh!
