Legal/Infringement Notices

Here are DMCA, trademark infringement, and other related notices Mozilla has received since November, 2009. We update this list periodically.

(Note: I'm reorganizing this list and moving each notice to individual wiki pages for better organization, starting with the oldest. The current list (and the new one) are in reverse chronological order. When a date is missing from the notice, I'm using the name or company name of the notice instead)

Mr. Andrew P. Bridges c/o Winston & Strawn LLP 101 California Street, 39th Floor San Francisco. CA 94111 (U.S.A.")

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:

http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/175700

Therefore, without prejudice or waiver of FERRARI'S rights to seek further remedies or reliefs, in consideration of the reiterated infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights of FERRARI and the very high number of files, we DEMAND you to comply with the following obligations: (i) immediately disable the access to the persona files identified by the URL links sub (a-b); (ii) immediately disable the access to any persona file and to any other function which enables the downloading of images, pictures and any other multi-media content reproducing Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models, Designs, Trade Names and any other distinctive signs of exclusive property of FERRARI S.p.A. and/or look alikes; (iii) immediately remove from all of your web sites all the pictures, images and any other multi-media content reproducing Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models, Designs, Trade Names and any other distinctive signs of exclusive property of FERRARI S.p.A. and/or look alikes ; (iv) immediately and forever desist from any use of Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models Designs, Trade Names and any other distinctive signs of exclusive property of FERRARI S.p.A. and/or look alikes; (v) immediately disclose the number of the downloads made until the present date from each of the URL links sub (a-b) and from any other links which allows the download any multi-media content reproducing Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models, Designs, Trade Names and any other distinctive sign of exclusive property of FERRARI S.p.A. and/or look alikes; (vi) immediately disclose any details relating to the identity of the subjects involved in the realization of the images, pictures and any other multi-media content reproducing Trademarks, Logos, Logotypes, Models, Designs, Trade Names and any other distinctive signs of exclusive property of FERRARI S.p.A. and/or look alikes; (vii) undertake to pay the amount of € 2.000,00 for each download; (viii) undertake to pay the amount of Euro 2.000,00 for every breach and for each day of breach of the obligations sub (i-vii) by your Company and/or by any entity under the control of your Company and/or associated to your Company and/or controlling your Company, reserved the right to ask for further compensation and/or damages; (ix) undertake to pay the amount of Euro 1.000.000,00 for the infringement of the Intellectual Property Rights of FERRARI S.p.A., save for the right to ask for further compensation and/or damages. (x) pay the amount of € 10.000,00 in contribution to our client's costs. Our client would prefer to resolve the matter with you amicably without the need of institution of legal proceedings. However, please TAKE NOTICE that, if we do not receive your written confirmation entirely agreeing to the above obligations within November 5th 2010, by way of your countersignature to the letter below, our client will entrust our local lawyers to pursue the matter further, without sending further warning letters.

Hi,

As you can see in the correspondence below, I was adviced to file a formal complain.
I'll do my best to describe the situation shortly & clearly as I'm respectful to your precious time.
I'm the Author of LavaFox & BlackFox themes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/4710003
This theme (GMP) is using 80-90% of the images I designed from scratch & the overall look is very similar to my theme BlackFox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/239620/
Just a part of the images that are copied: Tool-bars, scroll-bars, buttons, status-bar, progress-bar Menus & more.
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.
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.
As you can see below, Mozilla's editor has tried to help & gave up the informal attempts, so do I.
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

Dear Mr. Anderson:

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.

Application: VKontakte.ru Downloader

Developer: Sergey Kolosov

URL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/151188/

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sincerely,

Mark McDevitt

Vice President, Online Anti-Piracy

I'm writing you to inform you that these personas:

http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/214171
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/154748

are ALL based on an image of mine that can be found on my deviantart account http://donia.deviantart.com/art/Kyoko-Wallpaper-8910489 and that I've published on July 2004.
Since the authors didn't ask me for permission and my name has been cut out of the images I'm asking you to remove them as soon as possibile.

I believe in good faith that the use of the material that infringes my copyright is not authorized by law, or by me; and all of the information contained in my DMCA Notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I'm the owner of the exclusive copyright right that is being infringed..

Thank you

I am writing to you on behalf of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and its related entities (collectively "Fox"). Fox is the owner of copyright, trademark and other intellectual property rights in and to the television series American Dad, Archer, The Cleveland Show, Family Guy, Futurama, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Simpsons and Sons of Anarchy and the theatrical motion pictures Avatar and Ice Age (collectively the "Fox Properties").

We have recently become aware that Mozilla/Firefox and/or its users has been offering for download browser "Personas" incorporating various trademarks, characters, images, designs, slogans and/or other distinctive creative elements of the Fox Properties (hereinafter "Infringing Personas"), at the links listed on Attachment A. Mozilla's/Firefox's use of various trademarks, characters, images, designs, slogans and/or other distinctive creative elements of the Fox Properties is likely to cause consumers to believe that Fox has licensed, supported or endorsed your use of said elements of the Fox Properties. Such conduct infringes Fox's intellectual property rights in the Fox Properties, and shall not be tolerated.

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.

Should you fail to comply with the above demands by the close of business on September 22, 2010, we will consider taking all appropriate action against you without further notice to you.

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.

Very truly yours,

Julie,

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.

All of the information contained in my DMCA Notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am either the owner of, or a person authorized to act on behalf an owner of, the exclusive copyright right that is being infringed.

Please let me know if this is still not correct.

Thanks,

Emily

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 .

> 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.

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:

"I, Justin Ben McSweeney, believe in good faith that the illustration used in the Mozilla Persona referred to as "Zombies and Guns" and seen on the webpage http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/140182 , constitutes an infringement upon the distribution and licensing rights of myself and Humoring the Fates, Inc. All information provided thus far is accurate to the best of my knowledge, and I am both an owner and authorized representative of the copyright in question".

I appreciate all your help in this matter. I know that this is a common problem with user-generated content, and I'm grateful that you've responded so effectively. Let me know what I should turn in as a proper signature, and I'll be happy to do so as quickly as possible.

Thanks!

-Ben

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
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:

Mark U.S. Registration No.:
1,619,480
RON JON 2,651,953
RON JON 2,575,455
RON JON 2,365,194
RON JON SURF SHOP 2,573,048
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
remove this infringing material from its website.

I hereby certify that all of the information contained in this Notice to Mozilla is accurate,
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
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.

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
over the world.

Kewego noticed that, since February 10,2010 an "add-on" application allowing the download, via
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
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,
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
French civil Code.

This "add-on" may also have been done by infringing Kewego's right over the software applications
use on its video platforms.

Lastly, this "add-on" allowing downloading protected content stream on Kewego's platforms infringes
Kewego's agreements made with rights holders of the contents, who allowed the streaming of their
videos but not its download.

Kewego therefore hereby formally request that you immediately cease, totally and unconditionally the
distribution of this "add-on" from your website and that you take the appropriate arrangements to

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?

Thanks,

Hi, I'm Arun Dhir and a few years ago, I created a design based upon Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. It can be found here: http://megamanexev3.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Side-of-the-Moon-2-66374154

A friend phoned me one day to congratulate me for having a very popular persona, with over 40,000 users. I was surprised because I didn't remember submitting one. He gave me the following link:
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/89098 , which contained a modified version of my artwork.

My phone number is [phone number removed]. You may phone me for further details.

This is a statement by me that I believe in good faith that the use of this material I claim infringes on my copyright is not authorized by law. All information in this DMCA Notice is accurate. I
