Joseph Alkana RPT ----- Original Message ----- February 28, 2008 Piano Technicians Guild Forum Re: Copyright Infringement Dear PTG Forum Member-Participant, This is to inform you of PTG Forum’s infringement of copyrights owned by Pierce Piano Atlas, and to demand that you immediately cease and desist from further infringement of these rights. As you know the Pierce Piano Atlas is a world famous publication. It is the subject of registrations and copyrights obtained in the United States and throughout the world. No part of the Pierce Piano Atlas may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means -- electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise -- without written permission of the publisher. We vigorously defend our valuable copyrights, and take instances of infringement with the utmost seriousness. I have recently become aware that PTG Forum is publishing information, via e-mail and the World Wide Web, from the Pierce Piano Atlas. Over the past 50 years hundreds of individuals and organizations have sought to utilize material from the Pierce Piano Atlas in one way or another. It required years of painstaking research, thousands of hours, and a great deal of expense to gather all the information in the Atlas. In order to resolve this matter amicably I request you remove all information, you have published via e-mail or on your website, from the Pierce Piano Atlas. I demand that you immediately cease and desist from any further infringing use or proposed use of Pierce Piano Atlas. Unless we see you have complied within twelve (12) days of the date of this letter, we will be compelled to initiate all appropriate legal options to enforce our rights and preserve our information. Although we desire to resolve this matter amicably, please be assured that your failure to respond will cause us to take all necessary steps to protect the rights of Pierce Piano Atlas. Very truly yours Larry E. Ashley, Publisher Pierce Piano Atlas Larry E. Ashley Decals For Pianos and Publisher, Pierce Piano Atlas P.O.
