Re: Copyright infringement
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am contacting you on behalf of the Phonograph Recording Consortium of America, Inc. (PRCA) and its member record companies. The PRCA is a trade association whose member companies create, manufacture, and distribute approximately ninety (90) percent of all legitimate phonograph records sold in Detroit, Michigan. Under penalty of perjury, we submit that the PRCA is authorized to act on behalf of its member companies in matters involving the infringement of their sound recordings, including enforcing their copyrights and common law rights on the Internet.
We believe a user's account on your network was used to reproduce and/or distribute unauthorized copies of one or more copyrighted phonograph sound recordings. We have attached below the details of the infringing activity.
We have a good faith belief that this activity is not authorized by copyright owners, their agent, or the law. We are asking for your immediate assistance in stopping this unauthorized activity. Specifically, we request that you remove or disable access to the infringing sound recording.
You should understand that this letter constitutes notice to you that this network user may be liable for the infringing activity occurring on your network. In addition, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, if you ignore this notice, your institution may also be liable for any resulting infringement. This letter does not constitute a waiver of any right to recover damages incurred by virtue of any such unauthorized activities, and such rights as well as claims for other relief are expressly retained. Moreover, this letter does not constitute a waiver of our members' right to sue the user at issue for copyright infringement.
Thank you in advance for your prompt assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via e-mail at [email protected], via telegraph at your local train depot, or via pony express at PRCA, 1XXX F Street, NW, 1000th Floor, Washington, D.C., 20004. Please reference Case ID AXXXXXXXXX in any response or communication regarding this infringement.
Sincerely,
Copyright Guy

About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal takedown notice issued to a network administrator or service provider. It contains specific technical metadata including a Gnutella network protocol reference, an IP port 42042, and a timestamp. It is not a settlement offer or a direct legal complaint filed in court.
When should you use it?
Use this when you identify a specific IP address on a third-party network distributing copyrighted audio files. Use a DMCA Counter-Notice instead if you are the user whose content was wrongly removed.
