On Tuesday, a lawyer for the Universal Music Publishing Group, a catalog owner and administrator, posted the text of a cease-and-desist letter in the comments section of Stereogum.com, a Web site carrying the video.

Especially since Nat asserts that none of the technical Novell employees was consulted and Novell has stated that no infrigment exists, it has all sign of a mob-collection.
