Re: Violation of Fastly, Inc.'s Acceptable Use Policy and DMCA Takedown
Notice for Wdxtub.com Website
To Whom It May Concern:
We represent Amazon.com, Inc., and it has come to our attention that a website, Wdxtub.com, is using your service to cache and distribute material that directly infringes on copyrights owned by Amazon. In fact, it appears that your subscriber has taken Amazon's AMCAT Test and posted it, with corresponding answers and solutions, to the website identified above. Amazon is the sole owner of this copyrighted material, and it has not authorized its use by the website identified above. A complete list of the URLs at which Amazon's copyrighted material can be found, and the URL for the infringing material are detailed in the attached Exhibit A.
This letter is notice that Wdxtub.com's use of Amazon's copyrighted material violates Fastly, Inc.'s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Specifically, your AUP states that no person or entity shall use your services "(1) in any way that violates any applicable federal . . . law or regulation," or "(4) to store, publish, display, or transmit. . . infringing ... or otherwise unlawful or tortious material" {see https://www.fastly.com/acceptable-iise). As described above, Wdxtub.com's unauthorized use of Amazon's AMCAT Test violates the federal Copyright Act of 1976 and directly infringes on copyrights owned solely by Amazon.
This letter also serves as official notice under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that your subscriber is infringing on copyrights owned solely by Amazon. We request that you immediately notify Wdxtub.com of this notice, inform them of their duty to promptly remove the infringing material, and require them to cease any future use of your service to cache or distribute infringing material through your network. Alternatively, we request that you cease providing Wdxtub.com access to your network entirely.
This firm has attempted to contact Wdxtub.com directly regarding their infringement on two separate occasions. Takedown notices were sent on January 2, 2018 and January 24, 2018 to [private] and [private], respectively. To date, no response has been received, and no action has been taken to remove the infringing material from Wdxtub.com. Copies of these takedown notices are attached as Exhibit A to this letter for your reference.
Finally, please note that, pursuant to the DMCA, service providers who enjoy immunity under Section 512(b) can be subject to an action for equitable relief under Section 512(j). This section of the DMCA permits a court to enjoin a service provider such as Fastly, Inc. from providing access to infringing material, providing an infringing subscriber access to its network, or any other equitable relief necessary to prevent infringement of copyrighted material. While we believe this matter can be addressed extrajudicially, Amazon is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect its rights under federal law.
We are providing this notice with a good faith belief that the use of the materials in the manner complained of herein is not authorized by the copyright holder or the law. I certify, under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in this notification is true and accurate, and that I have the authority to act on behalf of the owner of the copyrights involved.
Should you wish to discuss this further, please contact me directly. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this request.
Sincerely,
