Cease and Desist Letter Received from Todd Abbot

Dear Dan & Darryl:

It has come to my attention that you have made an unauthorized use of my copyrighted work entitled Cyclone v. Tornado. I have reserved all rights in the Work, first published in 1983 and have registered copyright therein.

As you neither asked for nor received permission to use the Work, nor to make or distribute copies, including electronic copies, of same, I believe you have willfully infringed my rights under 17 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. and could be liable for statutory damages as high as $150,000 as set forth in Section 504(c)(2) therein.

I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing works derived from the Work, and all copies, including electronic copies, of same, that you deliver to me, if applicable, all unused, undistributed copies of same, or destroy such copies immediately and that you desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future. If I have not received an affirmative response from you by March 1, 2008 indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements, I shall take further action against you...., unless of course you send me a big fat cheque!

Very truly yours,

Todd Abbot

P.S. Really looking forward to doing the Spy-Master Classic Orgin thingy!
