Threatened with a Lawyer

back in the day, people use hitman or thugs to impose fear on people now they use lawyers

They will not be able to sue, since it is impossible to prove the theft if there is no legal right to intellectual property.

ignore the treat and move on... also maybe steal his backlinks for added juice.... the person is just bullying you

as everyone said this is an empty threat. I've seen this happen to a close family member with offline business. Guess what they threatened her for? For mentioning their company name in the about us page. SHE WORKED FOR THAT COMPANY LOL, and then became their competitor.

Sad degenerate losers who can't build up a business on their own through marketing/customer service/seo so they shark the shallow waters for newbies entering the market lmfao. Tell them to go fuck themselves honestly. Say it openly. They'll do nothin.

Ignore and move on.

On a side note, which article is older, your's or theirs? If your's then they literally have nothing to base this on.

I don't his comptetitor is trying to get rid of him and his content. I think he's genuinely pissed someone rewrote part of his article and he's being outranked by it. I'd be too, but oh well, as long as its not an exact copy, there's not much he can do.

Sue them for threatening to sue you lol.. seriously though they just jealous and can't seem to beat you so they are saying anything which means you are on the right track just ignore them and scale it
