Ya and I believe there is nothing you can do about it.
Here in Canada, one would incorporate a company and if sued, just declare
bankruptcy and open up chop at the next street corner.
Anybody can sue you for just about anything these days. You might be right
(or may not have done anything wrong) but by the time you are finished with
the lawyers bill$, you're toast. So unless you have lawyers on your
payroll, just don't bother with it and file it.
my 2cents.
