All they are trying to do is scare you into shutting down the site so the general public do not know what is floating around, as a means of reducing the spread of releases. (so they can potentially make more money on ticket/home sales of films)

Its a news site morons, don't see you bitching at film reviews sites that give your films bad reviews, i mean, that would cause more loss of 'potential sales' don't ya think?

very good point

I don't understand why he has all these links. These I could consider an infringement, because they are from the original movie.

http://www.vcdquality.com/image.php?id=16581

These I don't.

http://www.vcdquality.com/info.php?id=16662
http://www.vcdquality.com/info.php?id=16581
http://www.vcdquality.com/info.php?id=16571

http://www.vcdquality.com/nfo.php?id=16662
http://www.vcdquality.com/nfo.php?id=16581
http://www.vcdquality.com/nfo.php?id=16571

Only thing that could be infringing would be the "cover", which is hotlinked from imdb. If they have a problem with it, they should contact that site.

As for the letter, you could consider it spam. I'm sure there are laws against that in Cali. If he is serious, he can contact you via snail mail.

I would remove the images if you don't want to get into a legal battle. We could do without images, and might help the ratings on movies, by taking out the pic raters.

scare tactics are so preschool

Let's see... so the lawyer of a big bad movie company who wants everyone to pay money to keep them (movie company) employed dislikes their threatening letters published on a website and won't send you a letter to your home address, yet wants you to send him (read: slimy lawyer, oh careful that might be "slander") a letter admitting to wrong doing? Good thing it's not a classic scare tactic or anything ... ugh.

The reason he won't send you a letter to your home address is very simple actually... he hasn't got it. They never do. They set the trap with a letter stating all the wrong doing that you've supposedly done, then threaten you to sign and agree to it or else they'll take your website down. If they could take your website down, they would have done it by now. If they were truly interested in prosecuting you, they would have sent you a certified letter by standard U.S. mail rather than by anonymous and unverifiable (and in this case unresponsive) email. The pure and simple truth is that it costs more money to track you down and get your legal home address than it does to simply send you a form letter (read: email) and have you do all the hard work for them (i.e. supplying your home address). For all this "lawyer" knows, you may reside outside of the United States and in fact live in a country in which copyright laws do not exist. It doesn't take a task force to find the email address of the administrator of a website which is dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and information, it takes an IQ of 50 which apparently this lawyer just barely has.

I strongly suggest the following:

1.) Ignore the threats made by the anonymous individual who refuses to acknowledge your emails.
2.) Inform the anonymous emailer that if the spam (non requested emails) continue, their email address will be blocked due to ignoring your request to cease and desist all threatening emails.
3.) If the harassing spam continues, you will have no choice but to report them to their ISP for failure to comply with their ISPs Terms of Service which include a "No Spam" policy as is standard practice for all ISPs.
4.) Retrieve the IP address from the offender's email and block it on your firewall so as to avoid any possible attempts at hacking as inferred by the harassing emails.
5.) As stated in #4 beware of any hacking attempts, you may have no choice but to report the offender to the FBI as a possible hacker or a person affiliated with hackers/malicious computer users.
6.) Immediately implement a new safety procedure to protect fellow site visitors which includes but is not limited to:
a.) Required login prior to entrance to site which includes a "no fault", "privacy" and "harassment" clause which must be agreed upon in order to view materials within site
b.) Block/redirect any known offensive/possibly hostile IP addresses in order to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your users
c.) Non-Disclosure Agreement on file for all visitors to your website and all affiliated websites -- may be incorporated as part of (a).

It is further advisable to get in contact with the head of PR and/or Legal at the inferred "client" company to advise them of threatening letters being sent supposedly on their behalf to their customers. I do not believe that the "client" would appreciate letters such as the one the offending individual has emailed to be published in a public forum or newspaper. It is apparent that the offending individual did not want the emails published on your website due to their threatening nature. These emails could significantly hurt tickets sales if submitted to a widely read publication by one of your users or perhaps even by the offending individual himself. It is common courtesy to let the "client" company know the type of potential PR damage and potential revenue loss which is being done supposedly in their name, they may then take appropriate legal action against the offender.

That letter cofferscuffs sent is TOO funny pHo hahahaha everyone should go to boxofhate.com and read that!

Posted by DethStar on 08-27-2003 01:17 AM:

Yeah, everyone should check out that phone convo at the end too, that's fucking great.

Pointing oout the obvious, yet again. Removing the pictures or anything else in question could be construed as an act of addmitting guilt. In other words, Fuck you Dennis, you blood sucking bitch.

:: On second thought. I don't know what the hell this guy is doing. It looks like he's jumped firms, or something. Maybe you should demand some credentials like that one guy did. -K::

This bottom feeding bastard (or ass licker, if you prefer) probably dosen't even legaly represent P.P.C. (like someone has allready said) & probably makes his living by doing this type of unprofessional S.A.D. terosim, and whn he actualy gets suficent evidence he .... blah blah... you get my point.

Im am really surprised that Paramount would go to such a bottom feeding lawyer such as Wilson. I will soon be starting a website with resources on how to counter-act such a pathetic, script-reading monkey in a suit...

Compliments to Filmtracks.com for their very VERY professional aproach in handleing Dennis (Skum Bag) Wilson.

OH! by the way Dennis, I do have the right to this, as garenteed by the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Dennis, LICK MY BIG HARRY SWEATY WHITE NUT SACKS you low life piece of shit.

LOL

LOL, a bunch of children discussing "lame" behaviour. You guys don't really think someone isnt breaking copyright when you publish screenshots like crazy?
Cuz if you do i'm pretty sorry for you.
But I guess the posting of Sic0 made it clear how retarded most guys here are. Just insulting anyone and posing as the 1337 superhero isnt helping a lot, maybe in his own little 14 year old universe, but definately not in a case like that lol.
