X-Sender: piracy@mailsj.corp.adobe.com (Unverified) X-Priority: 1 (Highest) Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 08:05:30 -0700 To: ava@elcomsoft.com From: "piracy" Subject: Elcomsoft's "Advanced eBook Processor" June 25, 2001 Adobe Systems Incorporated has determined that www.elcomsoft.com is engaged in other unauthorized activity relating to copyrighted materials published by Adobe Systems. INFRINGING MATERIAL OR ACTIVITY FOUND: At http://www.elcomsoft.com/aebpr.html, Elcomsoft is offering for sale a software program designed to remove the copyright restrictions from eBook protected works. As the copyright protection is applied by the copyright holder, and NOT the end user, any claim that the software is designed to assist the end user in activity other than illegal piracy, is unsustainable. Continued offering of this product without Adobe's consent constitutes contributory copyright infringement. Adobe has a good faith belief that use of the material in this manner is not authorized by the copyright owner, or its agent, or the law. This violation is a matter of great concern and will be pursued aggressively by Adobe Systems. ACTION REQUESTED Adobe is requesting you cease the illegal actions by removing the offending materials. Please respond to us no later than five working days. Investigator Anti-Piracy Enforcement Team
