Dear Sir or Madam
thepiratebay.org - Copyright Infringement
I am contacting you on behalf of IFPI, International Federation of the
Phonographic Industry, and the record companies it represents. IFPI is a
trade association that represents over 1,400 major and independent record
companies in the US and internationally who create, manufacture and
distribute sound recordings (the "IFPI Represented Companies").
Under penalty of perjury, we submit that we are authorised to act on behalf
of each of the IFPI Represented Companies in matters involving the
infringement of copyright owned by them.
We are writing to you in relation Google's web search facility which is
currently providing search results directly linking to the website for the
illegal file-sharing service, The Pirate Bay.
- The Pirate Bay -
As you would be aware, The Pirate Bay is an internet-based service that
facilitates copyright infringement on a massive scale. The Pirate Bay
claims to have over 20 million users worldwide and it provides access to
several hundred thousand infringing content files, including movies, games
and software as well as copyright sound recordings owned by IFPI
Represented Companies. We have a good faith belief that no IFPI
Represented Companies, their agents or the law, have authorised The Pirate
Bay to make music files available via its website.
On 17 April 2009, following a criminal trial in Sweden, four individuals
responsible for the Pirate Bay were found guilty of violating copyright law
by assisting internet users to share copyright-protected content files
without authorisation. The four individuals were each sentenced to one
year in prison and they were ordered to pay damages to film and music
companies, including IFPI Represented Companies.
Legal action has also been taken in relation to The Pirate Bay in other
countries, including in Denmark and Italy.
- Action Requested -
In light of the serious violations of copyright facilitated by The Pirate
Bay service, and in accordance with Google's policies (see
http://www.google.com/dmca.html and
https://www.google.com/support/websearc ... tx=sibling) we are asking for your immediate assistance in removing from your index,
or otherwise disabling access to via your search engine, URLs linking to
the website for The Pirate Bay including but not limited to the URLs
specified in the attachment to this notice.
Our top priority is to prevent the current availability of unauthorised
copies of sound recordings the copyright in which is owned by the IFPI
Represented Companies. Unauthorised copies of sound recordings that are
freely available, especially pre-release recordings, cause substantial
damage to the IFPI Represented Companies every hour and day they remain
available. In sending this letter we are seeking to ensure that infringing
content is made inaccessible or removed from the Internet as quickly as
possible through your cooperation. However, please note that we do not
admit that we or the IFPI Represented Companies are responsible for
detecting infringing material and notifying you of it.
Our use of a notice in this form, as required by Google, is meant to
facilitate Google's removal of search results linking directly to
infringing web pages and we neither admit nor accept that Google is a
'service provider' for the purposes of the DMCA or that it is necessary to
serve, or that Google is entitled to be served, a notice in compliance with
the DMCA. IFPI itself and on behalf of the IFPI Represented Companies
expressly reserves all rights in this regard.
In addition, this notice does not constitute a waiver of any right to
recover damages incurred by virtue of any unauthorised activities described
in this notice, and such rights as well as claims for other relief are
hereby expressly reserved.
We assert that the information in this notification is accurate, based upon
the data available to us.
You may contact me at IFPI Secretariat, [redacted], London W1J 0DD,
United Kingdom or email [redacted]ifpi.org, to discuss this notice.
Please note that we have submitted a signature to be placed on file with
Google.
We await your response.
Yours faithfully
