You, on your own, offered to show the cease and desist letter that your friend received. Somebody expressed an interest in seeing it, what happened to your offer? I have my doubts...

It just doesn't seem right.

I believe it has little to do with pocket size, more like intellect and size of your gonads. Your friend can fight and possibly win, the loser could have to pay his costs to right this wrong...but I doubt it, and evidently so does your supposed friend.
The "some businesses" that you feel "seem to be allowed" to use the trademark might be getting the letter in the near future...
Tell your supposed friend that got the cease and desist letter to remove the word "The" from his business name (like AV guy did) and go on with life.
NOBODY SAID LIFE WAS GOING TO BE FAIR or "RIGHT"
