This is just a mockery of the US legal work process, in my opinion. Little company buys a domain name "seattle-mortgage-loans.com", soon after a company named "Seattle Mortgage" sends a cease and desist letter. In fact, they don't want this small company to come up in the top results for the term seattle mortgage. This is just very sad.
