The following is a verbatim copy of a Cease and Desist letter that was sent in March of 2008 in regard to legally owned, non-commercial domains. The content contained in the websites mentioned in the letter, consisted of a link to the Will County Courthouse public schedule of cases. The original text has been re-formatted in italics for readabillity within a browser.

For some reason, this letter was originally addressed and sent to an unrelated third party, not related to the domain owner. As such, the address has been blocked out.


It is the opinion of this publisher that the clients and the lawyer representing them, are unaware of the bad judgement publicly displayed in the sending of this letter. It is also the intention of this publisher to make known these types of unethical practices. Any further attempts at intimidation in regard to circulating public court information, will also be published here.

This letter is posted for informational purposes.
