SUBJECT: RE: SECOND Demand for Immediate Take Down - Notice of Infringing Activity - MS Ref. 45677
DATE: July 7, 2006 15:40 PST

Greetings again James (or whoever actually reads this)!

I guess you missed the part in my last email where I stated you can feel free to email me directly.
All my web host is going to do is pass your emails on, so how about saving them the trouble in the
future? As you can see, they have been CCed this email and are well aware of the situation.

Let's get started.

Again, the above is merely for your own records so we're all on the same page.

> Dear Sir or Madam,

We've already been over this. (You can reference my previous email.)

> 1. Identification of copyrighted works: 
>
> Copyrighted work(s): 
> Windows XP Professional 
> Windows XP Home Edition 
>

Again, no argument from me. We all agree Microsoft hold those copyrights. Moving on...

Hmm. I thought we also covered this in the last email as well. Once again, the EXE you are
referring to is in no way, shape, or form a "Crack". It's an uninstaller, pure and simply. It
doesn't contain any "Product Keys" either. In fact, it's no different then this one, hosted by
a well known freeware hoster:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/RemoveWGA.shtml

I'd like you to also take note of the category it's in. UNINSTALLERS.

> 3. Statement of authority:

No, it isn't accurate, hence why my web host simply forwards this to me to deal with. You have NO
merit and NO right to harass my web host, or me. If this continues I may be forced to take the
appropriate legal actions. Harassment is a much more serious offense then hosting an uninstaller
on a website.

> We hereby give notice of these activities to you and request that you take

Again, I hereby give YOU notice - neither I, nor my web host, will do nothing of the sort. No
copyright laws are being broken. No cracks are being freely distributed. Your claims are unfounded
and have no merit.

> We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Please advise us regarding

I'd also appreciate your cooperation in stopping the madness! As for the actions that have been
taken, again just try to download the file in question quoted above. You can also gain more

Right. It's interesting reading to see how many others are tired of this:
