Dear Mr. Kelley: 

 

RE: Notice of Copyright Infringement - www.net-snmp.org

 

Masterfile Corporation ("Masterfile") is in the business of licensing rights-managed images for commercial reproduction by clients around the world.

 

It has come to our attention that Network Associates, Inc., which appears to be under your control, has published one (1) of our images on a website at www.net-snmp.org.  A copy of the image and a printout of the respective pages on your website are attached to this letter for your reference.

 

The image is represented exclusively by Masterfile and is registered in the Copyright Office of the United States Library of Congress. You may verify our ownership of the image by visiting our website at www.masterfile.com and entering the respective image code in our search engine.  

 

We can find no reference to this image having been licensed for reproduction on your website, and rather than initiate a legal action for copyright infringement, Masterfile is willing to arrange for a retroactive license subject to your payment of a compliance fee. Our license invoice is enclosed.

 

Subject to your payment of the compliance fee, you may continue to use our image until Friday, March 10, 2006, and then it must be immediately removed from your website. If you wish to use the image for an extended period of time, or if you have used or wish to use the image in other media, you must contact Masterfile without delay to arrange for a specific license.

  

If the compliance fee is not paid within ten (10) days, Masterfile will rescind the license and will be obliged to initiate a legal action for copyright infringement.  Please be advised that removing the image from the Network Associates, Inc. website, without paying the license invoice, will not exclusively resolve this matter.

  

The information on this notice of copyright infringement is accurate and under the penalty of perjury, the undersigned is authorized to act on behalf of Masterfile with respect to this matter.

 

If you have any questions in this matter, kindly contact me without delay.

 

Regards,
