1st mail turn

Our record label represents the artist Indiana Gregg and we have been made aware that the album "Woman At Work" is being illegally shared on your torrent website. We request that you have the file removed immediately as
this is legal copyright and has not been authorised to be released as an illegal download.

thank you,

Re:

Is it possible to authorise something to be an illegal download? That would be a legal download if it would be authorised now, wouldn't it. Also, i've never heard of "legal copyright" (nor illegal copyright for that matter).
I think you need to re-check your intentions of the e-mail and try again. We do not respond to messages that do not make 100% perfect sense. You're confused.

Dear Peter,

In the UK ( and most other countries) file sharing by torrent or otherwise is illegal... full stop.

The original email was from the artist, on the company address yes, but not from me.... how does that make you feel ?

Having sat on cross parliamentary committees, resolved to regenerating music and culture in my country, i'm afraid you may just have picked the wrong person to cross swords with on this occasion.

The illegal file sharing of the Indiana Gregg album ' Woman At Work' , with us now having currently had over 250K + full album downloads removed from torrent sites, has almost bankrupted our company and sadly the artist and
myself personally, not to mention many other small independent labels and artists worldwide.

As we both know she is currently # 1 in various myspace charts around the globe in her genre's and you are making money by stealing from us, if we were to do the same in a different genre i.e.... walk into the bakers shop
and walk out with all the cream cakes and 'share' them with people on the street we would be very quickly arrested.

The law needs to.. and soon will be applied to people like you. In fact I correct myself, the law is there, it just needs applied.

Do you share any revenues from your site ( advertising or otherwise) with the people that u steal the goods you supply from ?

For the avoidance of doubt, that would be the.. the artist, the musicians, the writers, producer / studio engineers etc etc who all make a living from what you steal.

I hope the relevant societies and people I copy your reply to, take action to shut down your illegal operations for good.

You and people like you are destroying the music industry, taking away any chance a developing artist has of fulfilling any aspirations whatsoever they or their fans may have for your own illegal financial gain.

Thanks for your IP Address and Server / Routing details

Regards...... Ian

You're a hoot, that's what you are
I want to hug you in a non-sexual way and tell you that you make my heart burst of joy and cuddle up like a cute little cookie monster and ask for more milk.

... and btw, to be in a business you have very little knowledge on what you're doing. I would actually see you as a retard, but it's hard when you're so cuddly and manly! I wish I was just 20 years older and a girl... oh my..

Hugs n kisses,
Your eternal friend,

Dear Peter,

re: 5th attempt .... requesting removal of copyright material: As there seems to be confusion about the intention of our numerous requests for the removal of our copyright material from your piratebay torrent site over the past
year. I would like to clarify and reiterate my request that you take down the link to a torrent download of my album. "Woman At Work" The URL: Indiana Gregg - Woman At Work (2007) - Pop (download torrent) - TPB As
you are fully aware, the law does not condone sharing of copyright material on torrent sites and you are required by law to remove content (that you are being made aware of) that is being shared illegally as the operator of
your site. Just to clarify...the album is the LEGAL COPYRIGHT of Gr8pop Ltd (yes, Legal copyright is a term used in law.... sorry, that you have never heard of it. I suppose you will very very soon.) Illegal file sharing of
copyright material is indeed copyright infringement and it is your legal responsibility to remove that content upon request from the owner of that copyright. Why you would take such a bold step as to actually 'argue' with a
copyright owner who is requesting their material to be removed is, in my opinion, hazardous to your illegal business.

(considering your email below to Mr. Ian Morrow, it is obvious that you are attempting to avoid our request via forms of insult and malicious humor both of which are unecessary and likewise hazardous.)

It's obvious that you don't care about our independent request and are in the midst of defending yourself legally radically this year already....... so, wouldn't it be easier for you to just take down the url at our request and
get on with life?

>>Re:

Dear Indy,

As you are apparently _not_ aware of - YOUR LAW IS NOT MY LAW. We live in a country where it's totally LEGAL to have torrent files up on a site. Actually, I doubt that it's illegal in your country as well - but apparently you
can't grasp the concept of torrent files but you still try to act like a lawyer with full knowledge. It's "hazardous" to claim something to be illegal when it's totally legal and I would refrain from being a stupid asshole in
your situation.
Also interesting is that even though there are noone sharing that torrent what-so-ever I would more guess that you're close to bancrupcy because of either crappy marketing skills, crappy musical taste, or even your proven
crappy legal skills. It has nothing to do with the torrent community.

I'm arguing is that we have none of your content on our site. We have a torrent file which points to content, which is a totally different thing. We have never removed a single torrent because of a companys request and we will
not start doing it now. Especially not for someone who is so blatently ignorant towards globality and laws in different regions.

I would also like to point out that you made the legal threats section of our webpage with your previous e-mail. The Pirate Bay - The world's largest BitTorrent tracker
It's something to be proud of I guess.

Dear Peter,

I'm referring to the Digital Millineum Copyright act. We have tracked over 250 thousand downloads of the album in question on torrent sites globally. Many of the sites
have removed the link as per our request over the past year. Your reluctancy to remove the link is incomprehensible. Happily you aren't as popular as Minnova and bit-torrent. I am simply requesting that you remove the URL
link to the torrent. I am giving you notice as to prevent any copyright infringement.

As you are aware , the DMCA, does not grant blanket protection from copyright infringement liability. The service provider may not take advantage of the DMCA's safe harbor provision if:

1. The service provider has actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing;
2. The service provider is aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent; or
3. The service provider does not expeditiously remove or disable access to the material upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness of the infringing material.

In addition, if the service provider has the right and ability to control the infringing activity and if the service provider receives a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, the service provider
will not be protected by Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If the service provider satisfies the above requirements of the DMCA and receives a proper notice of infringing material, the service provider must
expeditiously remove or disable access to the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity.

I am a millionaire and do not claim to be bankrupt. Your opinion is not necessary or relevent to my request that you remove the URL.

Thank you,

Indiana Gregg

>>Re:

Oh my, this is such a treat. You keep on surprising me with more and more displays of stupidity.

Let's go back to the basics.
1) TPB follows Swedish law, the country where we live
2) DMCA is an american law
3) Sweden is not a part of the United States
4) TPB has no connection to United States and hence does not follow US law

Is that understood? Ok, great.

1) You say to us that we must remove a link, although it's legal and we have a purpose of letting people link stuff, because it's what we like
2) You say it's "incomprehensible" when we refuse to follow orders from someone not relevant to us nor our users
3) You say our opinion is not necessary nor relevant and we must do what you say? What kind of fascist are you?
If someone you met on the streets told you to stop wearing brown because their father tries to patent the color, would you do it? You would of course laugh. Just as we're laughing at you (not with you).

Also, very happy for you that you're a millionaire. In an earlier e-mail you said you're close to bankruptcy because of us, so I foolishly believed ya. But glad you proved your lies yet again.

Btw, being the second biggest search engine in the world is good enough for us. We don't need to be higher ranked than Mininova on alexa (although we actually have more visitors than they have). We're glad to be the seriously
biggest file sharing system in the world ever, that sites like Mininova can use in order to let people share. That's our goal and we reached it. And we're continuing to grow.
