I don't know how big AN Wireless is, but in cases like these it's often a
large company with deep pockets that is able to afford a well-staffed legal
department which they use to intimidate people who don't have similar
resources and frighten them into backing down. This is usually a very
effective practice, since most people don't have the means to defend a suit
against one of these companies even if they're in the right.

In many cases, however, this is just a bluff. It's happened to me--I've
gotten letter similar to the one Steve got--and my reply was "go ahead and
sue me". Never heard from the blowhards again...
