What's the worst thing that could happen if I blow it off and decide not to pay them?

They can shut my sites down or could it get worse than that?
will I have to pay court fees and shit, or just get my sites turned off?

I just run little tgps and shit, nothing worth paying a huge license fee over.

Once again....my disclaimer...I have not gotten a letter nor have I spoken to a lawyer about it...so anything I say is strictly in my humble opinion....

The letter doesn't mean much... From what I have seen there is nothing legally binding in the letter.....

So, I, myself would definitely not pay them, but at the same time I would be deciding my options in the event that they come after me with a subpoena....

They can not get you turned off for ignoring the letter.... You could get turned off for not answering a subpoena.... They could get a default judgement if you failed to appear in response.....
