Re: Copyright Infringement Pursuant to Digital Millennium Copyright Act
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dear Sir/Madam:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I represent NCS Pearson, Inc. (Pearson), the exclusive publisher of the
|
||
|
|
BECK DEPRESSION INVENTORY (BDI), which is a secure test instrument
|
||
|
|
restricted to purchase by qualified individuals. The BDI is an original
|
||
|
|
work of authorship registered with the United States Copyright Office.
|
||
|
|
A copy of the registration is attached for your information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It has recently come to Pearson's attention that you are
|
||
|
|
hosting a web site that contains an unauthorized reproduction of the
|
||
|
|
BDI. Copies of screen shots of the unauthorized reproduction are
|
||
|
|
provided for your information. The reproduction, display, and
|
||
|
|
distribution of the material at the online location infringe Pearson's
|
||
|
|
copyright in the BDI because the test items are reproduced and displayed
|
||
|
|
on the online location without Pearson's permission. As such, the web
|
||
|
|
page you are hosting clearly infringes U.S. Copyright law. See 17
|
||
|
|
U.S.C. 512(d).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
disabling or removing of Pearson's copyrighted material from this site

|
||
|
|
not asking or requesting removal of any other material.

||
|
|
