What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania

I have recently been contacted by a law-firm representing Lindsay Lohan. I, a while back purchased the www.LindsayLohanSexTape.com as a joke. A blog of sorts. It is and always has been a joke. Recently they have contacted me threatenting with a lawsuit for "defamation, false advertising, and unfair business practices, among other torts. Furthermore, your unauthorized use of Ms. Lohan’s name and likeness constitutes trademark infringement and a violation of Ms. Lohan’s right of publicity."

They are calling for a cease and decist to the site. But the site offers nothing. There is no sex-tape. Never has been. She is a huge star and there are tons of sites (unautorized) which contain her likeness, and images. The site (www.lindsaylohansextape.com) is up in its current standing form. Nothing has been changed, and I have not posted to it for about 3 or 4 months. Can anyone inform me of my options? Where I stand, or what I might be able to do? Any help would be GREATLY appreaciated. Thanks in advance.

**A: you are a joke. You have very limited options. Take the site down or feel the wrath of the pit bull lawyers.

The joke's on you. Close the site and hope that you (and your parents) don't get your a$$es sued off and have to pay $$$$$ to this huge star.
