Member: 15312 Status: Offline Sonork: 100.1576041 Thanks Meter: 1,097 | Legal Matter!!! Help? Code: From: Susan Attwood [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: quarta-feira, 10 de Março de 2004 9:48 To: [email protected] Subject: Illegal distribution of Digital Bridges and it's licensors' games and intellectual property Dear Sir/Madam I write on behalf of Digital Bridges Limited. We have noticed that you have copies of the following games on your site www.drugstore.gsmhosting.net namely: Arkanoid King of Fighters Puzzle Bobble Digital Bridges is the owner or distributor of such games, and is also authorised by Taito Corporation, the owner of certain games, to act on its behalf in these matters. Additionally, Digital Bridges is the exclusive games licensor for 2Fast 2Furious; the game that you are distributing is in breach of this licence and is unauthorised by the licensors. By allowing these games to be downloaded from your site, you are either distributing unauthorised copies of Digital Bridges' and its licensors' games in violation of the law, or have been negligent in allowing others to do so. You are potentially liable for any damages that Digital Bridges and its licensors may suffer as a result of your violation of the law. Damages (and costs) could be significant, given the wide distribution of the Internet We expect these games, and all copies and references to it, to be removed from the web-site, any forum and any other page within 48 hours. Please confirm that you have done so by e-mail or in writing, or we may be required to take further action against you. S.

Please check the site, and please tell us if you see anything else that is wrong. We are very sorry for this, because we got the games from other sites, or someone sented us. We do not had any intention of derespect the authors or owners. Our site, only tries to give the best to cellular phone users... Very sorry about this. Please let us know, if everything is ok, and if everything is ok with those games you mencioned. PS: We removed the games links from servers, and also removed the hotlink from the file name, but we left the names there. We only ask for some more time, so we can removed the names and put others, because if I remove the names there will be wholes in the frame. But if this also seems not right for you, I´ll remove the names and leave the wholes meanwhile. Thanks Drug_Store Drug_Store GSM Portugal http://www.drugstore.gsmhosting.net Code: Hi Thank you for disabling those links. I have had a quick look at the rest of your site, and have to tell you that your disclaimer on the front screen is ineffective. First of all, there is no such law as the Internet Privacy Act; secondly, even if there was, it wouldn't apply to you as you are a Portuguese site, not an American site; and finally, merely issuing such a disclaimer does not remove your liability for illegally distributing software - a crime is a crime, no matter whether it is committed in 'private or otherwise. However, I would like to thank you for your co-operation. Regards Susan Thanks |

Member: 9719 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 4 | ok so if lets say you had your site hosted on a usa server and were based in another country and you also had the usa "privacy disclaimer" would that make it ok and safe ? break out the industrial strength, multi-lingual privacy disclaimer Has anyone got a UK legal disclaimer as i want to upload some software but daren't till its safe i mean we all have other legal reasons such as require a backup media of your original in case anything happens of course. this really makes me wonder if co's that sell software should be charging themselves per machine using their own software after all if they don't pay their own license fee they could well be in breach of their own agreements hee hee Regards |
