June 28, 2001

We are contacting you in connection with our investigation of the
unauthorized distribution of software.  Adobe has reason to believe that
your company is trafficking in software which is prohibited by the Digital
Millenium Copyright Act.  This is a matter of great concern to Adobe.

INFRINGING MATERIAL OR ACTIVITY FOUND:

At
https://www.regnow.com/softsell/nph-softsell.cgi?item=1170-75&vreferrer=doc
Regnow! offers for sale Advanced eBook Processor.  This software program
designed to remove the copyright restrictions from eBook protected works; a
clear violation of 17 USC 1201.  As the copyright protection is applied by
the copyright holder, and NOT the end user, a claim that the software is
primarily designed to assist the end user in activity other than illegal
piracy, is unsustainable.

Continued trafficking in this product constitutes a violation of 17 USC
1201(a)(2) and 1201(b).  This is both a civil and criminal offense.  This
could subject your company to severe penalties, including substantial
monetary damages.

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 ceasing any sales of
this product.  Please contact us as soon as possible regarding this notice.
