I do think that you deliberately violated our legal rights under 17 U.S.C. Sec.

therein.This letter is official notification. I seek the removal of the infringing
materials described above. Take note as a service provider, the DMCA requires

notification is accurate and hereby affirm that I am permitted to act on behalf
of the owner of an exclusive right that is presumably infringed.Very truly yours,
