Just read an interview with Ian Livingstone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Livingstone). Asked about Cease-and-Desist letters sent out to various fan-sites by Games Worskshop (the company he co-founded but no longer has connections with) he replied, "...I don't see any plus sides in trying to shut down the people who make you what you are."

What a pity that some people lack the maturity, common sense, fairness and generosity that others possess.

he hasnt tried to shut anyone down lately so maybe he did take note
