As much as I also hate the idea of giving in to legal threats/bullying, I don't think this is very good advice.

Lawyers may not like losing cases, but they like billable hours even more. So as long as their client is paying, they will follow their wishes as best they can.

Even "meaningless actions" such as "cease and desist" letters or "demand" letters probably need consultation with a lawyer for a proper response. This "admit no wrong" advice can actually be tricky. What may seem like an innocent or innocuous comment could make your situation worse.

By the time you have an actual civil action against you, you may have missed the opportunity to end the matter without getting to this point.
