We would like a video removed due to copyright infringement.  My
lawyer boss would like to know your address and/or facsimile number to
send out a formal cease/desist letter for our client .

Pls. provide me with the requested info. to xxxx@xxx.com.  Thanks
much



Brian Houston to E

We don't have a fax, and we are not in the United States- however if you would like to tell me the content you are referring to, I'll see that it gets taken down.

Also, just a heads up.  We don't actually host any video- we just embed from sites like YouTube et al.  You will need to contact those sites to see that it is actually deleted.

Regards,

Brian Houston

Thank you.  We will send out the letter to you next week via email.

We will also contact Youtube and google.



Brian Houston to E
    
That's ridiculous.  Why don't you just tell me what you want taken down, and I'll remove it?



E to Brian Houston
    
It's not ridiculous because I DON'T send out the letter.  The attorney wants to write you on behalf of our client and include the website info. and sign it.   I am just doing the research for our client.

Hope you understand.



Brian Houston to E    
    
OK fine - I'll look forward to the letter - though we probably could have saved your client a billable hour with the attorney if you just told me what the offending content was, and I took it down- we're pretty responsive that way.   Suit yourself.

Cheers


E to Brian Houston

We don't charge by the hour but a fixed percentage. 
 

Thank you again, we will send the letter next week.


Brian Houston to E

Honestly, how can your expect me to give you any information beyond my email address - in response to an anonymous email without your own credentials or contact information provided.  Sorry, but that's creepy.  Whatever your percentage is, I hope it's small - because I'm half convinced that this is some kind of scam run out of Nigeria.

Regardless, we will respond to your letter.   We do our best to  respect copyright holder wishes on clips - even though we do not host them.

 

 


E to Brian Houston

 

 Sorry but trust me it is not a scam whatsoever and I belong to a real law office.
Will reply with letter next week and I'm glad you will do your utmost to handle our copyright issues.

Best,
Exxxx
Legal Asst. to Jxxx Mxxx, Esq.
