The correct way to deal with a stupid cease and desist letter

'How dare they promote our movie!' Awesome. [Link]

Ms. Henning:
The image in question has been removed.
To play it on the safe side, we have also removed the article in question, and every article related to the Astro Boy movie from our web site.
Obviously, we will be unable to trust any Astro Boy images that we get from third parties, because they may simply be claiming to have permission to promote Astro Boy and we simply don't have the time to check to see if, say, Summit Entertainment is in any way connected with Imagi... so it would just be easier to not cover the movie at all. Or the DVD release. Or the comic book adaptation, which will certainly be entertaining to explain to the publisher.
For that matter, we should probably be concerned about showing any images from other Imagi productions, such as Gatchaman, Highlander, TMNT, or Gigantor. We'll just skip covering them as well. And we should also notify all of the other people and news organizations who are providing press coverage on the web for any Imagi properties to be careful running any images related to their properties, lest they run afoul of lawyers. I can think of a few large websites running your precious image right now, I'm sure their thinking will mirror ours.

UPDATE: Resolved

Erin, your apology is accepted. We've restored the articles to the site, and while we won't replace the image, lest we be accused of histroical revisionism, we're happy to make an annotation to the article indicating it's early art and share the newer images with the rest of the world-- starting with the one above, which I think is one we haven't seen before.
