Dear Mr. <removed>: I am legal counsel for <removed>, who are the heirs of Herman Herzog (the “Artist”) and the owners of all subsisting copyrights in the Artist’s works of art (the “Works”). Your February 26, 2014 e-mail to Mr. Herzog was forwarded to me for a response. In light of the fact that you have taken the legal position that Wikimedia Foundation (“WF”) is an internet hosting provider entitled to the “safe harbor” protections of section 512 of the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq. (the “Copyright Act”), and without conceding the correctness of your legal position, please be advised that I have sent a DMCA-compliant take-down notice to WF’s Designated Agent for the purpose of receiving such notices, Ms. Sue Gardner. A copy of that notice is attached here. As you will see, the notice applies to all of the Artist’s Works that are currently displayed on the Wikimedia website that my clients have determined were first published in the United States with valid copyright notices on dates falling between January 1, 1964 and December 31, 2002, and therefore still within their terms of copyright under the Copyright Act. Please be further advised that my clients are continuing to research the publication histories of all the rest of the Artist’s Works, and reserve the right to send Wikimedia additional DMCA take-down notices with respect to those other Works, if and when their research determines that those other Works were also first published in the United States with valid copyright notices on dates falling between January 1, 1964 and December 31, 2002. Finally, with respect to your request that my clients send you specific “evidence about each painting's first date of publication, location of initial publication, notice of copyright, and any applicable renewals”, I assume you are aware that sections 512 (c)(1) and 512 (c)(3)of the Copyright Act do not impose that burden on my clients, and instead require Wikimedia to expeditiously comply with my DMCA-compliant take-down notice regardless of whether they produce the requested evidence at this time. Should anyone file a counter-notification, and/or should this matter lead to litigation, then at the appropriate time my clients will produce all necessary supporting evidence that they have collected to date. Until then, however, I fully expect and demand that Wikimedia expeditiously honor my DMCA-compliant take-down notice without the need for the requested evidence, as required by sections 512 (c)(1) and 512 (c)(3)of the Copyright Act. All rights reserved. Sincerely, <removed>
