Re:NRA complaint takes down Surge's 38,000 websites by mikeash on Thursday June 30, 2016 @01:29PM (#12010180)
It's enough if the target thinks it's enough, which in this case they apparently did.

There's nothing saying you have to obey a random cease-and-desist letter, but there's also nothing saying you can't obey it. If DO prefers to take action for letters like these, that's their right. And if they give their customer warning and a way to respond, I can't even say it would make me uncomfortable to be their customer.

No cease-and-desist was sent to Digital Ocean or Surge but there was one sent to CloudFlare. Digital Ocean acted on their own behalf.
