RE: FERRARI S.p.A. / MOZILLA CORPORATION (our ref. 82274) | |||
Dear Sirs, | |||
following our previous corrispondence, in the name and on behalf of FERRARI S.p.A. (FERRARI) of Maranello, the world-renowned manufacturer of luxury sports cars, which has granted us all the necessary powers for the worldwide protection of its intellectual property portfolio, we wish to represent you as follows. | |||
Since last March, 2010 we have cautioned your Company against the granting of access to any application enabling the download of pictures and images reproducing FERRARI cars, trademarks, logos, logotypes, designs, models and trade names. | |||
Notwithstanding the obligations that your Company has assumed towards our Client after our letter dated May 28lh 2010, we became recently aware that on your web site (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/; https://addons.mozilla.org/it/thunderbird) such applications are still available. | |||
In particular these are "Personas" and "Add Ons", for the customization of the browser FIREFOX, of the e-mail client THUNDERBIRD and of other MOZILLA products, by means of the download of browse themes dedicated to FERRARI. | |||
These graphic themes consist of numerous pictures and images reproducing FERRARI cars, trademarks, logos, logotypes, designs, models and trade names, although FERRARI S.p.A. never granted its consent. | |||
For this purpose, please find hereunder a non-exhaustive list of URL links regarding the above resources: | |||

Hi, | |||
As you can see in the correspondence below, I was adviced to file a formal complain.<br>I'll do my best to describe the situation shortly & clearly as I'm respectful to your precious time.<br>I'm the Author of LavaFox & BlackFox themes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/4710003<br>This theme (GMP) is using 80-90% of the images I designed from scratch & the overall look is very similar to my theme BlackFox.<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/239620/<br>Just a part of the images that are copied: Tool-bars, scroll-bars, buttons, status-bar, progress-bar Menus & more.<br>The author of this theme contacted me in the beginning and asked to use my themes, I made it clear that I allow him to use only the code but not ANY images that I designed.<br>The author doesn't seem to understand and claims that he changed many images, I made it clear that it's not enough and asked him to take the theme off AMO until he will replace ALL the images that I designed & ask for my permission.<br>As you can see below, Mozilla's editor has tried to help & gave up the informal attempts, so do I.<br>I hope that I included all the info necessary to identify the copyright infringement, the details I believe are additionally requested are below: | |||
I believe in good faith that the use of the material that I claim infringes my copyright is not authorized by law, or by the copyright owner or such owner's agent; and all of the information contained in my DMCA Notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the owner of the exclusive copyright right that is being infringed. | |||

Re: VKontakte.ru Downloader | |||
<br> | |||
Dear Mr. Anderson: | |||
<br> | |||
I am contacting you on behalf of the Recording Industry Association of America, Inc. (RIAA) and its member record companies. The RIAA is a trade association whose member companies create, manufacture, and distribute the majority of all legitimate sound recordings sold in the United States. RIAA members include Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and EMI Music North America, and their affiliated record labels. We are writing to notify you of the copyright infringement of sound recordings that is being facilitated by the VKontakte.ru Downloader software application which is being distributed through your system. | |||
<br> | |||
Application: VKontakte.ru Downloader | |||
Developer: Sergey Kolosov | |||
URL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/151188/ | |||
<br> | |||
The purpose of this application is to facilitate the unauthorized downloading of popular sound recordings. The majority of these sound recordings are owned or controlled by RIAA members. Under the U.S. Copyright Act, those who distribute, reproduce, or digitally transmit sound recordings without authorization and those who assist, facilitate, or induce such actions by others are liable for copyright infringement. By indexing, linking to, transmitting, retransmitting, providing access to, and/or otherwise assisting users in streaming and downloading infringing copies of sound recordings, this application is violating U.S. copyright law. | |||
<br> | |||
By this letter, we ask that you immediately cease distribution of the VKontakte.ru Downloader software application on your system, and that you take steps to ensure that its developer is not permitted to infringe upon the copyrights of RIAA members by offering similar applications on your system in the future. | |||
<br> | |||
The copyright infringement of RIAA member sound recordings made possible by your distribution of this application is obvious to anyone making use of the application, and undoubtedly will be readily apparent to you upon review. While this letter constitutes notice of infringing activities under the U.S. Copyright Act, it does not in any way constitute a waiver of any right, remedy or action, including the right to recover damages for the infringements referenced in this letter. All such rights, remedies and actions are expressly reserved. | |||
<br> | |||
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you should have any questions. You may reach me via e-mail at antipiracy@riaa.com, by telephone at (202) 775-0101, or by mail at RIAA, 1025 F Street, N.W., 10th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20004. | |||
<br> | |||
Sincerely, | |||
<br> | |||

We, therefore, demand that you immediately: | |||
1. Cease all use, publication, offering for download or other dissemination of the Infringing Personas incorporating various characters, images, designs, slogans and/or other distinctive creative elements of the Fox Properties, including those at found at the links on Attachment A, and, | |||
2. Confirm in writing to the undersigned no later than September 22, 2010, that you shall fully and promptly comply with each of the foregoing demands. | |||

I have a good faith belief that the items offered for sale at the links shown on the Attachment to this letter are not authorized by Fox, its agent, or the law and I declare under penalty of perjury that I am authorized to act on behalf of Fox and the information in this letter is accurate. | |||
This letter is without prejudice to Fox’s rights and remedies, all of which are expressly reserved. | |||

My piece of artwork that is being infringed is "Purple Twilight Rose Wallpaper". I have this piece posted on Deviantart for free download as a wallpaper, but is not intended to be used for anything other than a computer desktop wallpaper for personal use. On my Deviantart account, my full name is listed along with the copyright and date which my work was submitted (September 4, 2008). Here is the link to this particular piece of artwork in my gallery: http://silverperfume.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1lr9em . I have checked all of my messages and notes and at no time did the person who has infringed upon my copyrighted artwork attempt to contact me for permission to use it. Attached is a compressed version of my artwork for your reference.<br>><br>> While I took the photograph of the rose and designed the piece, I should also mention that the Photoshop brushes I used to create "Purple Twilight Rose Wallpaper" are copyright of another artist on Deviantart "redheadstock". She requests that anyone who uses her brushes provide her with credit for her work. I provided her with credit when I posted my work, but the person who has infringed on the copyright of my work ( Sweetness0721 ) has also infringed on the copyright of "redheadstock" by not crediting her for her work. Her Deviantart gallery is: http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/ . The link to her website is: http://www.obsidiandawn.com/ . Her Deviantart gallery and her website explain her terms and conditions of use. One of the brush sets that I used for this piece by redheadstock is "Foliage Swirls". Here is the link to this brush set on Deviantart: http://redheadstock.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1bwfmz and here is the link to the brush set on her website: http://www.obsidiandawn.com/foliage-swirls-photoshop-gimp-brushes I have emailed her about this matter and she has given me permission to inform you about this. I can forward our email conversation if necessary.<br>><br>> The username of the person who has posted my work as a persona without my permission is " Sweetness0721" . Here is the link to this person's designer gallery: http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/Designer/Sweetness0721 The date this person posted the persona is: September 8, 2009 (one year and four days after I posted my artwork).

I am sorry I missed your call. I contacted you earlier today regarding a copyright infringement issue. A user downloaded my artwork and without notifying me, used it as a persona. I wanted to assure you that, as a student majoring in Interactive Media and Web Design, I totally understand that this is in no way the fault of Mozilla, and do not blame you nor the company for this. I very much appreciate your willingness to deal with the situation and highly value your attention to customer service. You stated in your message that you would send me a "DMCA" form to fill out.<br>><br>> My contact information is:<br>><br>> Name: Emily Heuerman<br>> Mailing Address: [street address removed]<br>> City: Big Bear Lake<br>> State: CA<br>> Zip: 92315<br>> Home Phone: [phone number removed]<br>> Cell Phone: [phone number removed]<br>> Email Address: e.heuerman@gmail.com<br>><br>> I have a couple of questions regarding this case. My work that was infringed upon was made using Photoshop brushes copyrighted by another artist. This artist states clearly that her brushes may be used if the artist credits her. I did this so I was not infringing on her copyright. That being said, the person who infringed upon the copyright of my work did not credit me, nor the other artist, which is an infringement on that artist's copyright agreement for free usage. I have contacted this artist regarding the issue at hand who gave me full permission to mention her when I sent the information regarding this circumstance. My question is, should I mention her involvement in this in the DMCA or should she fill out a separate form? My only other question is, would it even be necessary for me to mention her involvement, or will this be taken care of regardless of my mentioning her? She has asked me to let her know how this is to be handled.<br>><br>> Thank you so much for your time,<br>><br>> Emily Heuerman <br> | ||

Hello Julie, | |||
Thank you so much for the quick reply! In regards to the first point, what constitutes a "signature" in this situation? I work in the illustration field, so the first thing that comes to mind is an image of my signature in a jpeg or tiff format, but I'd like to be certain. | |||
In regards to the second point, I thought perhaps the email as a whole worked as a statement, but to be clear: | |||

Re: Illegal Use of RON JON trademarks | |||
Dear Mr. Anderson: | |||
This law firm represents Ron Jon Surf Shop of Fla., Inc.(“Ron Jon”) in intellectual<br>property matters. It has come to our attention that in the Mozilla “Personas Gallery” there is a listing for “RON JON SURF SHOP created by Pedemann” which employs without Ron Jon’s authorization or consent several of Ron Jon’s well known and famous trademarks. (See the attached copy of the Mozilla web page from which this design was captured). The location where this infringing material may be found is: www.//getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/254424. | |||
Such misuse of Ron Jon’s trademarks constitutes trademark infringement under federal, state and common law. Moreover, this use constitutes dilution of Ron Jon’s famous trademarks. | |||
Among those trademarks which have been infringed are the following trademarks owned by Ron Jon which are the protected by U.S. Trademark Registrations: | |||
<br> | Mark U.S. Registration No.:<br>1,619,480<br>RON JON 2,651,953<br>RON JON 2,575,455<br>RON JON 2,365,194<br>RON JON SURF SHOP 2,573,048<br>3,259,798 | ||
Copies of these registration certificates are attached for your convenience. | |||
In accordance with Mozilla’s legal notices, we hereby demand that Mozilla immediately<br>remove this infringing material from its website. | |||
<br> | I hereby certify that all of the information contained in this Notice to Mozilla is accurate,<br>that I am the authorized agent of Ron Jon Surf Shop of Fla., Inc., and that these statements are made under penalty of perjury. | ||
We thank you in advance for your cooperation and look forward to receiving<br>confirmation that you have removed the infringing material. | |||

Dear Ms. Soubras, | |||
We are in receipt of your DMCA notice. Because the name of a Persona does not necessarily mean that the design is infringing and because new Personas are added and old ones removed on a regular basis, we must require rights holders to identify the specific Personas that are allegedly infringing rather than simply search results. We hope you understand the need for this requirement and we are ready to take down the Personas you identify as soon as we receive the needed information. | |||
Sincerely yours, | |||

<br>RE : INFRINGEMENT TO IP RIGHTS | |||
Dear Sir, | |||
I am Kewego's lawyer. | |||
Kewego provides a white label hosting video platform on the web to many clients in France and all<br>over the world. | |||
Kewego noticed that, since February 10,2010 an "add-on" application allowing the download, via<br>firefox browser, of videos that are broadcast only on streaming, is provided on your website: | |||
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/75778 | |||
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/75778 | |||
This "add-on" is proposed under the name of "Kewego", even if my client is not involved in the<br>development of this application. | |||
We are also writing directly to the developer on the email he put on your website. | |||
I draw your attention of the fact that this "add-on" is infringing Kewego's rights by: | |||
using the "kewego" trademark,<br>using the kewego logo protected by the copyright, | |||
Moreover, the use of Kewego's name can be consider as unfair competition under art 1382 of the<br>French civil Code. | |||
This "add-on" may also have been done by infringing Kewego's right over the software applications<br>use on its video platforms. | |||
- | Lastly, this "add-on" allowing downloading protected content stream on Kewego's platforms infringes<br>Kewego's agreements made with rights holders of the contents, who allowed the streaming of their<br>videos but not its download. | ||
Kewego therefore hereby formally request that you immediately cease, totally and unconditionally the<br>distribution of this "add-on" from your website and that you take the appropriate arrangements to<br>avoid this application to appears again on your web site.<br>I inform you that my client does not want to start any action in front of the Courts, against your<br>corporation or even against the developer, since the application is quickly removed. | |||
But if any action should be stmt in the future, you are formally request to keep the connection data of<br>the developer you have. | |||
Due to our ethical rules of our profession, we are entirely at your lawyer disposal. | |||
Sincerely,<br>Gilles Vercken<br> | |||

Hi again Arun, | |||
Thank you for the additional information. Under U.S. copyright law, however, the DMCA notice must include certain elements. One of those is that the statement about you being the copyright owner must be made under penalty of perjury. For example, "I hereby state, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner of the copyright that is being infringed." Could you also please identify the city and country where your address is located? | |||

Hi Arun, | |||
Thank you for your email. Before we can take any action on your request, we need to receive a notice that complies with the requirements of the DMCA. You can find those requirements by scrolling down to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice section on this page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/about/legal.html . In particular, you must include (i) in addition to your name and telephone number, your mailing address, and (ii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you are either the owner of, or a person authorized to act on behalf of an owner of, the exclusive copyright right that is being infringed. | |||
Once we receive a DMCA compliant notice we will take down the reported Persona and forward your notice to the person who posted it. | |||

Dear Sir or Madam, | |||
Upon closer review, we realized that your notice is not complete. Before we can take action under the DMCA, you must identify the specific copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed. If you can provide URLs where they are posted online, that would be helpful. Also, simply including search results isn't sufficient identification of the works you claim are infringing. Please provide a list of the specific Personas you claim infringe your copyright and should be taken down. | |||
Thank you for your cooperation. | |||
Sincerely, | |||
Liz Compton<br>Mozilla | |||

Thank you for your email. Before we can take action under the DMCA, you need to correct one item in your notice. The required statement, as specified in the DMCA, needs to state, under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of, or a person authorized to act on behalf an owner of, the exclusive copyright right that is being infringed. You only state below under penalty of perjury that your notice is true and correct. Could you make that one correction please?

RE: FERRARI S.p.A. /MOZILLA CORPORATION (our ref. 82274) | |||
Dear Sirs, | |||
- | by this letter in the name and on behalf of FERRARI S.p.A. (FERRARI) of Maranello, the<br>world-renowned manufacturer of luxury sports car, which has granted us all the necessary powers for the<br>worldwide protection of its intellectual property portfolio, we wish to represent you as follows. | ||
<br> | FERRARI became recently aware that on your web sites are available applications, as<br>"Personas" and "Add Ons", for the customization of the browser FIREFOX, of the mail client<br>THUNDERBIRD and of other MOZILLA products, by means of the downloading of browse themes. | ||
Several of these graphic themes are dedicated to FERRARI, consisting of pictures and images<br>reproducing FERRARI Cars, Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Designs, Models, Trade Names, although<br>FERRARI S.p.A. never granted its consent to this purpose. | |||
As you may know, FERRARI is the registered owner (among others) of the Trademarks (the<br>"Trademarks"), the Logos (the "Logos"), the Logotypes (the "Logotypes"), the Models (the "Models"),<br>the Designs (the "Designs"), the Trade Names (the "Trade Names"), reproduced in such images and<br>pictures. | |||
<br> | These registrations provide our client with protection against any misuse of its Trademarks,<br>Logos, Logotypes, Models, Designs, Trade Names and of any sign and shape that is similar to them.<br>We have advised our client that the unauthorised exploitation of pictures, images and any other<br>multi-media content reproducing Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models, Designs, Trade Names and any<br>other distinctive signs of exclusive property of FERRARI S.p.A. and/or look alike them, constitutes an<br>infringement as well as passing off. | ||
<br> | Therefore, without prejudicing or waiving rights of FERRARI to seek further remedies or<br>relief, we DEMAND you to comply with the following: | ||
(i) immediately remove from each of your web sites all the pictures, images and any other<br>multi-media content reproducing Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models, Designs, Trade<br>Names and any other distinctive sign of exclusive property of FERRARI S.p.A. and/or<br>look alike them;<br>(ii) immediately and forever desist from any use of Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models<br>Designs, Trade Names and any other distinctive sign of exclusive property of FERRARI<br>S.p.A. and/or look alike them;<br>(iii) immediately deactivate the applications "Personas" and "Add ons", and any other which<br>enables the downloading of images. pictures and any other multi-media content<br>reproducing Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models, Designs, Trade Names and any<br>other distinctive sign of exclusive property of FERRARI S.p.A. and/or look alike them;<br>(iv) disclose the number of the downloading made until now and any detail relating to the<br>identity of the subjects involved in the realization of the images, pictures and any other<br>multi-media content reproducing Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models, Designs, Trade<br>Names and any other distinctive signs of exclusive property of FERRARI S.p.A. and/or<br>look alike them;<br>(v) undertake to pay the sum of € 500,00 for each downloading of such browse themes;<br>(vi) undertake to pay the sum of € 500,00 for each day of breach of the obligations sub (i-iv)<br>by you or by any entity under your control or associated to you, reserved the right to ask<br>for a further compensation;<br>(vii) pay the sum of € 1.000,00 in contribution to our client's costs. | |||
Our client would prefer to resolve the matter with you amicably without the need for instituting<br>legal proceedings.

Re: Mozilla CorporationlIP: Your letter for Ferrari S.p.A<br><br> | |||
Dear Mr. Massimei:<br><br>I represent Mozilla Corporation, which has asked me to respond to your letter of<br>18th March, which you directed to Mozilla's address for Digital Millennium Copyright Act<br>notifications.<br><br> | |||
The personas and add-ons that your letter refers to are the products ofMozilla<br>users, not Mozilla. Mozilla hosts user-generated material that it does not create, as do many<br>companies with an online presence. Mozilla does not charge for the user-generated content and<br>makes no money from it.<br><br> | |||
Mozilla takes intellectual property rights seriously and is prepared to take prompt<br>action to take down materials that have a proper notice of infringement made against them.<br>Unfortunately your letter makes claims that refer only generally to "cars, trademarks, logotypes,<br>designs, models, [and] trade names" of Ferrari as the basis of its intellectual property rights. The<br>letter also fails to identify any particular personas or add-ons that contain or constitute<br>infringements. This information is extremely important in order for Mozilla to assist Ferrari.<br>Mozilla is not in a position to maintain or consult a database (if any exists) of all marks and other<br>intellectual property of every company, or of any company in particular, and it is not in a<br>position to determine what personas or add-ons may offend rights of others. Mozilla therefore<br>depends on IP rights holders to identify both the specific IP right that has been violated and the<br>specific material or activity that violates those rights. Your letter does not provide any of that<br>information but simply leaves it to Mozilla to guess what actions Ferrari wants Mozilla to take.<br>Please send me (1) the URL of each challenged item or activity together with (2) an<br>identification of a specific intellectual property right (for example a mark and a corresponding<br>registration) that you believe the challenged item or activity infringes. Upon receipt of that<br>information, Mozilla will be in a position to take action on this occasion. If Mozilla does not<br>receive the information within 30 days, it will consider the current letter withdrawn.<br><br> | |||
For your information, here are the elements of a notification that Mozilla<br>normally expects from an intellectual property claimant. U.S. copyright law explicitly requires<br>copyright holders to provide the information. Mozilla believes that it provides a very useful<br>guideline for holders of other rights, such as trademark rights, as well.<br>o Physical or electronic signature of person sending notice<br>o Identification of the work claimed to be infringed or, if multiple protected works at a<br>single online site are covered by your notification, a representative list of works at that<br>site<br>o Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of<br>infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and<br>information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. Generally this will<br>require, at a minimum, complete and accurate URL(s) of the challenged material.<br>o Statement that you have a good-faith belief that use oftl).e material in the manner<br>complained of is not authorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law<br>o Statement that the information in the notification is accurate<br>o Statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner<br>of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed<br><br> | |||
I | Mozilla will need substantially all that information in order to proceed with<br>respect to future notices. As I stated, on this occasion only we need the information I have<br>identified by (1) and (2) above. Please bear in mind that, when Mozilla disables access to<br>material on the basis of notices of claimed infringement, Mozilla will consider a notice sender as<br>responsible if Mozilla incurs any liability because of its conduct in reliance on a wrongful notice.<br>For that reason, Mozilla urges notice senders to pay careful attention to the potential<br>consequences of their notices.<br><br>Mozilla stands ready to assist Ferrari as I have discussed above. Please do not<br>hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.<br><br> | ||
Very truly yours,<br>Andrew P. Bridges<br> | |||

If Mozilla takes action in response to a DMCA Notice, it will make a good faith attempt to contact the party that made such content available by means of the most recent email address, if any, provided by such party to Mozilla. You may be held liable for damages based on certain material misrepresentations contained in a DMCA Notice. Thus, if you are not sure content located on or linked to by the website infringes your copyright, you should consider first contacting an attorney. | |||
All DMCA Notices should include the following: | |||
*A signature, electronic or physical, of the owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive copyright right that is being infringed;<br> * An identification of the copyrighted work or works that you claim have been infringed;<br> * A description of the nature and location of the material that you claim to infringe your copyright, in sufficient detail to permit Mozilla to find and positively identify that content, including the URL where it is located;<br> * Your name, address, telephone number, and email address where we can contact you; and<br> * A statement by you: (i) that you believe in good faith that the use of the material that you claim infringes your copyright is not authorized by law, or by the copyright owner or such owner's agent; and, (ii) that all of the information contained in your DMCA Notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of, or a person authorized to act on behalf an owner of, the exclusive copyright right that is being infringed. | |||
<br> | Mozilla's designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is as follows:<br>Harvey Anderson<br>Mozilla Corporation<br>650 Castro Street, Suite 300<br>Mountain View, CA 94041<br>Email: dmcanotice at mozilla dot com<br>Phone Number: 650-903-0800<br>Fax: 650-903-0875 | ||
If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of a DMCA notice, Mozilla may not act upon your notice. | |||
Mozilla will terminate a user's account if, under appropriate circumstances, they are determined to be a repeat infringer. | |||
The contact information provided above also applies to notices that are based on non-U.S. copyrights or trademarks. | |||
Only DMCA Notices, Trademark Notices (which are defined below), and international copyright or trademark notices should go to the copyright agent. Any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support, and other communications should be directed to personas at mozilla dot com (if related to Personas) or http://support.mozilla.com (for support). | |||
Please be advised that any DMCA Notices sent to Mozilla may be sent to third parties (including the accused) and posted on the Internet (including at http://www.chillingeffects.org/).<br>Trademark Notices | |||
If you are a trademark owner or an agent of a trademark owner and believe that content available by means of one of Mozilla’s websites infringes one or more of your trademarks, please immediately notify Mozilla's Copyright Agent by means of emailed, mailed, or faxed notice ("Trademark Notice") and include the information described above for DMCA notices. Mozilla handles notices it receives of trademark violations via a process very similar to the DMCA Notice process that is described above for copyrights. In addition to the DMCA Notice requirements, Mozilla requires that the entire Trademark Notice be made by the trademark owner (or her agent) under penalty of perjury.<br><br> | |||

<br>Re: Unauthorized Use of NBA Intellectual Property | |||
<br>To Whom It May Concern: | |||
I write on behalf of NBA Properties, Inc. (“NBAP”) in connection with the unauthorized use of intellectual property belonging to the National Basketball Association (the “NBA”) and its member teams used prominently in FireFox personas (“the Infringing Content”). | |||

No commercial use can be made of NBA Intellectual Property without the prior written consent of NBAP. | |||

Mr. Anderson, | |||
https://addons.mozilla.org/ | My name is Ab Kuenzli. I go by "Bud". I am a professional photographer residing in North Pole, Alaska. I am a retired high school teacher/principal/technology manager. Three new Firefox Personas use cropped portions of a famous image of mine. | ||
One Persona is found at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/persona/47422. You can see this is a crop of a famous image of mine found at http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap071009.html . That image has been licensed by me in the past and has monetary value. The Persona is a crop of a section of the upper right area that includes the Pleides constellation. | |||
The second Persona is actually another crop of the same image. You will see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/persona/15826 is a crop of the above apod.nasa image which was then reversed (flipped horizontally). This Persona crops from the left middle area and extends to catch the meteor and beyond; it is cropped and flipped. | |||
The THIRD Persona takes from the same image yet again! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/persona/34771 is a crop from the right middle of my original image. | |||
<br> You can see further examples of my work at http://www.pbase.com/santa. That web page includes the image in question, whose original file name is _V5U9211. This image is possibly my most famous image due to the wide recognition the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day has throughout the world. At http://www.pbase.com/santa/aurora you might note a comment by Katherine Lewis from Oct. 19, 2008 that lends further evidence of the existence of this image on my personal web site. | |||
The NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day creates a DVD of honored images. They also publish a list of copyright holders. You will find my name listed at http://teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/tlnasa/reference/ImagineDVD/Files/apod/apod/lib/copyright_holders.html . My only copyright with APOD is for the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day in question as linked above. | |||
In all good faith I believe the above three images as linked are cropped portions of _V5U9211 of which I am the original photographer and owner of the copyright and as such each of the three images in question infringe on my copyright. All of the information contained in this DMCA Notice is accurate. I so state under penalty of perjury.<br> <br> I do not know if I am supposed to contact or try to contact these offenders. I await your response on this matter. Thank you. | |||

Re: Unlawful Use of the PGA TOUR service mark - Firefox.com | |||
Dear Sir/Madam: | |||
PGA TOUR, Inc. operates three professional golf tours: the PGA TOUR, the Champions Tour and the Nationwide Tour. The PGA TOUR owns U.S, Registration No. 1,264,533 for the word mark "PGA TOUR" and Registration No. 1,264,522 for the mark "PGA TOUR & Design" (copies of which are attached for your reference), and has common law trademark rights in "PGA TOUR" across the United States. | |||
It has come to our attention that an "add-on" has been available on firefox.com that incorporates the PGA TOUR mark as downloadable wallpaper. The use of the PGA TOUR mark is likely to cause consumers to reach the mistaken belief that the PGA TOUR is associated, affiliated, or otherwise connected with fircfox.com. Therefore, your use of such mark constitutes service mark infringement. These actions give the PGA TOUR federal claims for service mark infringement, unfair competition and the creation of a false association under the Lanham Act, as well as state law claims for service mark dilution, deceptive trade practices and unfair competition. | |||
The PGA TOUR hereby demands that firefox.com cease immediately any and all use of the PGA TOUR mark. | |||
Please respond to the undersigned in writing within ten (10) days of the date of this letter to confirm that you have ceased all use of the above-referenced mark. This letter is written and sent without prejudice to any and all claims or rights that PGA TOUR may have against firefox.com. | |||
