What we're the supposed copyrighted materials, that they were speaking of, if I might ask? Like a for instance, example.
Since it sounds like the big JOAC might have a problem believing others actually tell the truth...
"To Whom It May Concern:
I am contacting you on behalf of Macy's, Inc. We manage the Internet monitoring function for Macy's brand identity issues on the Internet.
Macy's Department Stores, Inc. ("Macy's") is the sole owner of the well-known trademark and trade name MACY'S, which is the basis for an extensive family of trademarks, copyright and service marks, used for a
wide range of products and services for over 150 years. It has invested considerable time and money establishing exclusive proprietary rights in the MACY'S mark, as is evidenced by U.S. trademark registrations including U.S. Registration Nos. 0,078,333; 0,922,972; 0,360,801; 2,478,842; 2,664,355; 3,129,938 and others. As a result of these
efforts, the MACY'S mark has become a famous mark and a property right of incalculable value.
A website that your company hosts, namely
http://nycoin.net/macys-thanksgiving-day/, is using Macy's intellectual property in its domain name or content without consent.
http://nycoin.net/macys-thanksgiving-day/'s infringement of Macy's copyright is in violation of Federal law, which provides for the recovery of profits and damages, as well as a sum of up to three times the amount of damages or profits (whichever is greater) and attorney fees in certain cases. Your company's practice may be subject to scrutiny if, after being placed on notice, you continue to facilitate or otherwise knowingly cooperate with this copyright infringement, creating contributory liability.
All attempts to contact the person responsible for the domain have gone unanswered. We would prefer that this matter not escalate, but, as I'm sure you understand, Macy's must protect its valuable copyright.
Accordingly, we ask that you contact the account owner of
http://nycoin.net/macys-thanksgiving-day/ and suspend the account in accordance with your terms of use.
We will be monitoring the website and await your immediate response in writing. Should you have any questions regarding Macy's position in this matter, please contact me immediately. Thank you for your
anticipated cooperation.
Nothing herein shall constitute a waiver of any of Macy's rights in law or in equity, all of which are expressly reserved.
Thank you for helping us protect the Macy's Brand. If you are authorized to use the Macy's Brand and believe you have received this in error, please provide the name and number of your contact within the company in order to verify your use and close the matter.
Sincerely,
