My name is [Private] and I am [Private] at Oxford University Press (“OUP”), a department of the University of Oxford and one of the oldest university presses in the world. It has been brought to my attention that your website uses a substantial amount of OUP content without our authorization. Specifically, your website uses content from Grove Music Online (the “Work”), available here: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/. Here is the specific URL that uses OUP content without our permission: https://grovemusic.github.io/#gsc.tab=0.

OUP owns the exclusive rights to produce and publish the Work and any abridgment or portion thereof throughout the world; accordingly, it is an infringement of copyright for you to do any of these things in relation to the whole or part of the Work without permission or authorization. Because you neither asked for nor received permission to use the Work or any portion thereof on your website it is our position that the usage is a wilful violation of copyright under 17 USC Section 101, et seq. and is also contrary to sections 16 and 20 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.

We demand that you immediately cease the distribution of any infringing works including any infringing works derived from the Work and immediately destroy all such infringing works. Additionally, this letter shall serve as an official takedown notice under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) ans/or Article 14 of the European Union E-Commerce Directive 2000/31/EC. Accordingly, we demand that you immediately remove or block access to all content that infringes any OUP content and refrain from using or sharing with others such unauthorized material. We similarly require a certification that you have taken such measures.

If I have not received an affirmative response from you indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements in a timely fashion and/or if infringing content is still available for view online, we shall seriously consider all of the remedies available to us including, without limitation, legal action for injunctive relief or to recover damages, without further notice to you.

We reserve all of our rights.

Sincerely,

[Private]
