Why Can’t Writers Read?

We have been engaged in an on-going… thing. Some might call it a feud, we honestly think that it’s a poor writer who is lost in the world and has no one for company other than her cats, trying to get a little attention.

We just want everyone to know, that we are NOT unwilling to take content down. We just ask that the owner of the copyright provide us something signed that confirms that they are, in fact, the copyright owner of the work. Emails are not legally binding. 

In our policy of full disclosure, here is our email conversation so far with Cherise:

Thank you for contacting TUEBL and TorMovies legal department,

You must scan or fax us a SIGNED letter requesting the takedown. The rest of your takedown request is fine… please read the following:

We are currently evaluating your request and action will be taken shortly. No TUEBl or TorMovie server resides within the United States and as such is not bound by US law. We do, however, want to provide a method for you to “protect” the “intellectual property” of the people you claim to represent.

Two additional requirements that we have that are not specifically mentioned within the DMCA is the requirement to show proof of representation of the copyright holder. If your organization represents ACME Inc. then we require the written agreement between your organization and ACME Inc. to ensure that you have the proper authority to represent them in this matter.

Due to the configuration of our servers, we also require that you submit a link to not only the file you would like to see removed, but the page on our site where you find it (for instance on TorMovies if you wanted to remove the movie CatsNDogs you would link to http//tormovies.org/2011/CatsNDogs and http://tormovies.org/torrents/catsndogs.torrent to ensure that we remove the file properly.

If your email did not include these, please consider sending an updated email with the proper information.

Here are some requests that we do not accept:
*PDF Files (except in the case of the agreement between your organization and the company/person who owns the copyright which you claim to represent)
*Image Files(except in the case of the agreement between your organization and the company/person who owns the copyright which you claim to represent)
*Audio Files
*Emails with heavy HTML

If your request contains any of the above, please correct and resend.

Also please note that any email that we recieve is public information and will be published in full on our blogs, twitter, facebook, and any other social network that we desire. :)

You should recieve a response within 72 hours. If you do not, please ensure that the above criteria was met and send again. :)

//Please Also Note This Is An Automated Response:
This email will be sent each time legal@tormovies.org gets an email

I’m so sorry, but this email is a legal notification. Please comply as requested in the DMCA takedown notice that you received on December 24, 2011.
ISP notification if no action taken within 24-48 hours.

Thank you so much,
Cherise Sinclair

Sorry, we do not operate under US law as our servers are not located in the United States and I am not a US citizen. Just so happens that the United States doesn’t dictate the law for the rest of the world. This is the same procedure even Harper Collins and other major publishers follow with us, and they have complex systems which they have to abandon when working with TUEBL.

Our website is fully resistant to any attempt of censorship so even if you were able to talk with one of our webhosts and convince them that I am breaking the law (which you wouldn’t because I have cleared this takedown agreement with all companies involved with hosting my websites), our website would have no downtime at all and we certainly would not remove your books after that.

Please Mz Sinclair, I would ask that you just follow the procedure below… otherwise we will not be removing the content.

Considering you did not seem to understand our last email, we decided to attach our request in giant words and a picture of where the United States is, in relation to Canada whose laws are applicable to me:

 
 
PS, I was discussing this issue with some of my friends, and we have decided that you win cutest family of the day award!
