“Subject of this letter is your offer of products which infringe the copyright of our client’s Fender Stratocaster guitar,” an example of the Bird & Bird cease and desist letter, as shown by McKnight, reads.

“We insist that you immediately stop manufacturing, selling, marketing, or producing such infringing products.”

According to McKnight, who was given copies from different sources, the letter also demands the recipient recall all the guitars it has sold in the EU and destroy them.
