This site has a web forum that deals with VW shop and web site owners receiving cease and desist letters from Howard, Phillips & Andersen, a law office in Utah.

Many VW parts resellers abroad have received these nasty cease and desist letters from this law firm claiming to represent VWoA.

If you have received one of these letters please use this website as a resource and post in the forum area to get further help and contact information. You do have hope. You need to know your rights!

A good resource to check out is an organization called Electronic Frontier Foundation. The site offers much information in the area of this kind of legal matter and explains the laws such as the ACPA (AntiCybersquatting Consumer Protection Act). You can also post your cease and desist letter on that site and any follow up correspondence you have with the bully law firm.

Here is a forum post of a cease and desist letter a VW parts reseller received from Howard, Phillips & Andersen. (VW Bugs A Reseller). It was also posted to the chillingeffects.org web site.
