A Preliminary Report on the Chilling Effects of "Cease and Desist" Letters By Tricia Beckles and Marjorie Heins concludes that; "In an April 14, 2004 letter from Waathiq & Associates' attorney to Google, Waathiq demanded that Google remove links and search terms relating to David Waathiq and leading to www.worldwidewarning.net, which contains numerous vociferous allegations against Waathiq's business practices. It is not clear how Google responded, since using David Waathiq as a search term still leads to the WorldWideWarning site. In this case, it doesn't seem that defamatory (but arguably true and therefore legal) expression about Waathiq was chilled." On the Pierce Law IP News Blog Carey wrote; Alleging vague copyright violations over "personal photographs, graphics, web pages, titles and accompanying literary work, personal and business documents, business calling cards, in addition to text marketing language" the notice requests that Google remove all offending pages. Having looked at the site, which appears to be a site designed to warn unwary internet users about hucksters and charlatans, the initial appearance of this notice seems to be an attempt to silence speech and save Mr. Waathiq et. al. from having to file a defamation action. Last time I checked, this wasn't what the DMCA was intended to do. We would like to thank Chilling Effects for publishing the original fax that Mr. Waathiq had his attorney send to google.com.
