They're basically taking advantage of the fact that people are going to get scared and pay up when really their case isn't going to hold up in court if you fight well.

And how much do you think this magical lawyer is going to cost you? Zero dollars?

I recognize this part of the equation.

It definitely seems to me that just bending over and grabbing the ankles is a bad play. Even if I have to sacrifice some $EV (depending on how much it is) it might be worth it to stand up for myself.

Of course, a more detailed analysis might come up with the best solution easily being just pay them, but this just doesn't seem right to me intuitively. Maybe it's the case though.

But I will need more to convince me than "lol lawyers aren't free".
