It's not copyright/trademark law, these are abusers of trademark law who operate from within a completely dysfunctional legal system in a country that has apparently abandoned the rule of law and allows it's citizens to intimidate foreign nationals with impunity. If this came from a Nigerian scam artist you would just inform your local police computer crime department of a 419, but unfortunately there is no recognition or remedy for receiving specious pseudo-legal threats.
I can however understand Kluppes choice to avoid the stress and move on.
But the problem with abusers, bullies and terrorists (whether they use force of arms or merely threats) is that once you capitulate they will be back for more. The question then is, at what point do you put up a robust defence?
