I made Paramount mad.
![]()
Last week I posted a link to the Stardust movie trailer. Today I got a cease-and-desist letter from Paramount. Apparently they hate free publicity.
Dear Sir or Madam:
We are writing to you on behalf of our client, Paramount Pictures Corporation ("Paramount"). Paramount is the owner of rights in and to the "STARDUST" motion picture (hereinafter referred to as "STARDUST"). No one is authorized to copy, reproduce, distribute, or otherwise use STARDUST without the express written permission of Paramount.
It has come to our attention that the website located at "http://www.scottewenart.com/," for which you are the service provider, is reproducing and distributing STARDUST. Paramount has the good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by Paramount, its agent or the law.
Paramount diligently enforces its rights in and to STARDUST in all forms of media. Our client rightfully takes responsibility for the protection of STARDUST very seriously.
As you may be aware, Internet Service Providers can be held liable if they do not respond to claims of infringement pursuant to the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and/or international laws with similar effect. In accordance with the DMCA, we request your assistance in the removal of infringements of STARDUST from this website and any other sites for which you act as an Internet Service Provider. We further declare under penalty of perjury that we are authorized to act on behalf of Paramount and that the information in this letter is accurate.
Nothing contained in this letter constitutes an express or implied waiver of any rights, remedies or defenses of Paramount, all of which are expressly reserved.
Very truly yours, /s/
David K. Caplan Keats McFarland & Wilson
