The site could host "AI-generated cease & desist letters" written in the tone of a fed-up medieval knight. Instead of formal legalese, the letters read:
"Hark, thou hast stolen mine meme. I shall see thee in the court of bad opinions. Behold, I am Lord Justice of the .lol, and I find thee... cringe. Pay one Bitcoin or change thy profile picture immediately."
