To Whom It May Concern:
We are Warner/Chappell Music and Warner Bros. Publications. We are the worldwide copyright owners and/or administrator of a significant number of copyrighted musical compositions; many of which are to be found on the above-named website.
It has come to our attention that the above website is engaged in the electronic distribution of copyrighted musical compositions in the form of downloaded "pdf" Sheet Music arrangements. Such distribution in the absence of the permission of the copyright owner(s) constitutes a clear violation of United States and International copyright law and we therefore respectfully demand that you insure that such infringing activity is stopped immediately.
We will provide you a period of three (3) business days to respond to our request. Failure to respond to our request will compel us to forward our files to the National Music Publishers Association and music industry authorities for appropriate action. The foregoing is without prejudice to any right, remedy, action, claim or defense otherwise available to us under the circumstances, all of which are expressly reserved.
