Dear Sir or Madam,
We write to you on behalf of gamigo AG, Behringstrasse 16b, 22765 Hamburg, Germany.
As you may know, our client is the publisher of the free to play online game “Loong”, available onYou must be registered to see links. “Loong” is free in its basic version. Our client mainly earns its money through features which are reserved for paying customers (“premium features”).
Our client owns the registered German trademark “LOONG” (DE 302010035546) which enjoys protection for the goods and services of the classes 9, 28, 38 and 41, namely for computer gaming software, video games, the operation of games on the internet and providing access to computer programs in data networks (including the internet).
Under your domain “You must be registered to see links”, a forum is currently hosted which allows users to download the pirated software and receive information about and how to download unauthorized modified versions of our client’s software. Furthermore, your website shows our client’s trademark and copyright protected graphics without authorization. This constitutes an infringement of our client’s rights, especially its trademark rights, title rights, copyrights and its protected business interests.
By providing your forum services under the domain “You must be registered to see links”, in particular by hosting the discussion forums about pirated software of our client’s game “Loong” under the links Loong - Server Developments - RaGEZONE forums and http://forum.ragezone.com/f671/release-1-3-5-server-730199/, you facilitate and contribute to the aforementioned infringement of our client’s rights.
Therefore, we are kindly asking you as the service provider to stop and refrain from providing services for and contributing in any actions which may lead to infringements of our client’s rights.
As a consequence, we ask you to immediately shut down the forums hosted under the links Loong - Server Developments - RaGEZONE forums and http://forum.ragezone.com/f671/release-1-3-5-server-730199/.
Please note that we await your reaction until March 7th 2011.
