Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
When Canaccord was ramping Quindell with its crap research notes it was happy for them to be plastered all over the internet. It fired analyst Kevin Ashton who wanted to say sell and ignored his dossier on crimes at Quenron as it just wanted to earn vast fees and commission for acting for Quenron or raising cash for it. How times have changed.

Surely the public interest in publishing this material overrides the very dubious copyright claim

I notice the rather aptly bolded “BY HAND” in their letter.
Is this their company motto perchance?

Was the undertaking signed and returned?
Thanks

Bit silly that, the genie is out of the bottle.
Wonder if the lawyer said the words “the Streisand effect” when he & Canaccord were discussing the decision to write this letter.

We have removed the link – they cannot demand more.
Bet they were not expecting us to publish the pompous lawyers letter though :)
ShareProphets is officially at war with the spivs at canaccord. They have behaved disgracefully over Quenron and Ashton. The Sheriff is now on its case…

Cant believe they 1) get paid for writing that shite 2) want copyright of that shite
The pair must indeed be wankers ………. seeing how high up the wall they can each get . Still they do say that city spiv types are not born , but just grow from spunk on a wall . There for , I am afraid, this tendancy is already present in the genes .

Tom, delivered by hand, wankers indeed.

Removing the letter was correct and prop9er to do.
Not sending any reply confirming your intent to respect copyright is a mistake. As the wronged party they will be entitled to seek a formal statement from you that you acknowledge their copyright. I assume you took legal advice, and auch advice should have said that while you may not have to sign the letter they sent you to sign, you absolutely should send something signed to acknowledge the legal situation.

Be a real man, Tom and don’t sign it :-)

The Streisand effect kicking in.
I haven’t read this from top to bottom so dunno if it’s the real McCoy but surely nobody would dare risk the ire of Canaccrd’s expense lawyers, would they?
Hopefully those guys can reach miscreants in the USA & continue to protect Rob Terry & his great British company.
Cannacord Genuity The note they tried to ban.
