cease and desist order Hukam-e-imtanai Explanation: Hukam-e-imtanai [ could be hukam-e-imtanai duwami or aarzi] cease= khatam hoona ya karna;say baz rahna. Desist= baz rahna Cease-and-desist is a legal term essentially meaning stop: It is used in demands for a person or organization to permanently stop doing something (to cease and desist from doing it). The term is used in two different contexts: A cease-and-desist order can be issued by a judge or government authority, and has well-defined legal meaning. A cease-and-desist letter can be sent by anyone, although typically they are drafted by a lawyer. Contents A cease-and-desist letter is a letter demanding that the recipient "cease and desist from" continuing certain behavior. The behavior in question can include publishing materials or making statements that the letter's sender considers copyright infringement, trademark infringement, patent infringement, slander, or libel. The letter typically threatens legal action if the recipient continues to publish the materials in question or make statements similar to the ones in question. It is similar in form, although not in function, to a demand letter, which alerts the recipient to a pending claim for money damages, usually as a result of a tort or a breach of contract. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2006-05-28 17:08:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sun Microsystems employees have been caught with their hands in the file-trading cookie jar, and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is not happy about it. The RIAA sent a "cease and desist" order to Sun after discovering that some of the server makers' employees had been downloading copyrighted files at work. This is part of a broad attack by the RIAA against college students, the military and companies Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cease_and_desist Reference: http://www.blockislandtimes.com/news/2006/0513/News/021.html |
