Tomorrow 1/31 is the due day for their demand. Should I pay them? Thanks for your comments.

You actually have way more time than they say. They will never turn down a good amount of money. It is an artificial deadline designed to create the reaction you are expressing.
I'm a non-lawyer but not legally ignorant either. Under the 1st Amendment, I have the right to post facts & opinions using rhetorical hyperbole, colloquialisms, metaphors, parody, snark, or epithets. Under Section 230 of CDA, I'm only responsible for posts I write, not what others write.

I'm gonna go with "no."
Although I may be a super-genius, I am not a lawyer. So take my scribblings for what they are worth and get a real lawyer for real legal advice. But if you want media and design advice, please visit Motion City at http://motioncity.com.

Another resounding NO, the "demand date" is just another fear tactic.
Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

Offer them $49 and tell them they have two weeks to accept the offer.

They will set another deadline when this one passes or send the file off to NCS IP corp or McCormack law firm
