Lawyers response
The lawyers can only act on their clients instructions. If the client is not interested in any further action or realizes that they have a weak case, the lawyer cannot do any thing further.
Honesty with lawyers
It is important to be honest with your lawyer. If you tell your lawyer lies, if the truth is discovered at a later date, it can be embarrassing and cause unnecessary problems. It also makes it difficult for the lawyer to defend the client.
Freedom of speech
Is there real freedom of speech online? Offline if payment is not made, you can take the party defaulting to court to recover payment.
Online, you lose both your money and are issued gag orders.
Being professional
Being professional is not dressing in a particular way or speaking with the “right” accent, it is also being fair to the other person and respecting their rights.
Most of the offline companies I have dealt with are professional, but the same cannot be said for many online companies.
