I do think that you intentionally infringed our legal rights under 17 USC Section 101 et seq. and can be liable for statutory damages as high as $150,000 as set forth in Section 504(c)(2) of the Digital millennium copyright act (”DMCA”) therein.
This message is official notice. I seek the elimination of the infringing materials described above. Take note as a service provider, the Dmca demands you to remove or/and deactivate access to the copyrighted materials upon receipt of this notification letter. In case you do not stop the utilization of the previously mentioned infringing content a legal action will likely be initiated against you.
I have a good belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as presumably infringing is not authorized by the legal copyright proprietor, its legal agent, or the laws.
I declare, under consequence of perjury, that the information in this notification is correct and hereby affirm that I am permitted to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive and legal right that is allegedly infringed.
