No lawsuit involved, Universal just said cease & desist, and he did, and they were happy.

You know-- You can think it's fake all you want, but it's *NOT* fake. Bah... You know, I think I made a mistake in posting this here.
All I get is:
1.) "You're lying"
2.) "You deserved it" or
3.) Some inane and overly useless comment o.0
Edit: And, for the record, I don't care if some of you want to call me a liar because I'll just ignore your posts. I really have no reason to make this up and some of your comments *REALLY* aren't helping.
Anyway, I did call the courthouse and they told me that there wasn't any trial scheduled for me and to call the number on the letter. Well, I tried to call the number and it went through (I guess I didn't dial it right the first time). Anyway, I really didn't get anywhere because, for such a big company, they just give you the runaround and transfer you from department to department. Anyway, I called the courthouse back and they stated the same thing that some of you did: That unless I actually get served not to worry about it (That is to say that it might not happen, but that there's no use in worrying about something that hasn't happened yet).
