To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to avail myself of my rights under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998. This letter is a Notice of Infringement as authorized in § 512(c) of the U.S. Copyright Law. I wish to report an instance of what I feel in good faith is an example of Copyright Infringement, the infringing material appearing on the Wikimedia Foundation website and/or its affiliated websites, the Service for which I believe you are the designated agent. The material which I contend belongs to me is a closed letter that has been reproduced and uploaded publicly to Wikimedia without my express permission as copyright holder. Citing the decisions of Salinger v. Random House, New Era v. Henry Holt and Wright v. Warner Books, this letter appears illegally on the Service and I request its timely removal from the Service for which I believe you are the designated agent. Furthermore, I contend that this notice is also subject to copyright under the same protection, and give no permission for this notice to be reproduced or published on your website or any of its affiliated websites. The infringing material may be found at the following website address: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/foundation/3/3c/DMCA_LIPTAK.pdf I do in good faith affirm that the use of the copyrighted (((((material/materials))))) described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by myself as the copyright owner or the law. I do further affirm, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this Notice of Infringement is accurate and that am the copyright owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Sincerely, Alexander Liptak <redacted> Streator, Illinois <redacted> <redacted> <redacted>
