“It appears there’s been a followup to our earlier story on the American Bankers Association claiming that bank routing numbers are covered by copyright, and threatening a website that had created a useful way to look up those routing numbers. The website, run by Greg Thatcher, was doing a public service, getting such info from the Federal Reserve’s website, and making it much easier for people to find the numbers. Thatcher is now being represented, pro bono, by Andrew Delaney of Martin & Associates, and his response letter to Nigel Howard, the ABA’s lawyer who sent the threat letter, is one of the most beautiful responses to a bogus threat letter you’ll ever see.”
