T666 dont need 2 cheat thanks for the support

T666	Date: April 3, 2005 @ 8:55 AM re: 'T666 INVOLVED IN CHEATING SCAM' http://www.boycott-riaa.com/article/3743 http://search.dmusic.com/?st=news&sp=t666 Hi, the above mentioned article published by Chris Wright/Dmusic is regarding an incident between T666 and Mp3.com in 2001. For your evaluation of Dmusic and its ‘support’ of independent artists refer below to the T666 Legal Demands Part 3, Defamation. Result: T666 v Mp3.com Mp3.com paid T666/Violent Entertainment the day they received the legal demands from the T666/Violent Entertainment Legal department. In full payment was made for outstanding royalties plus projected royalties for the period that the T666 mp3 page was offline. The T666 mp3 page was then also promptly reinstated. --- Section of Legal Demands: T666 v Mp3.com 2. Breach of Contract MP3.com has put T666's Artist page on hold and forfeited the royalties earned by T666 under the Promotion because it has claimed that T666 has been disqualified from the Promotion because of "deep-linking activity". Deep linking is not "tampering" with or "gaming" the Promotion. It is standard Internet practice and drives users to the MP3.com website. Therefore, MP3.com has breached the Payback for Playback terms and conditions by placing the Artist page on hold and forfeiting our royalties. The Contract only provides for disqualification if a member is found to be "tampering" with or "gaming" the Promotion. There is no term in the contract that prohibits deeplinking. 2. Breach of Copyright In view of the fact that MP3.com put T666's Artist page on hold, forfeited our royalties and breached the Contract, MP3.com's continued use of the Songs without T666's permission is an infringement of copyright. MP3.com is only entitled to use the Songs in accordance with the Contract. We believe we have a right to claim damages or an account of profits for MP3.com's infringing continued use of the Songs. 3. Defamation We received a copy of an email sent to the editor of Dmusic.com by Michael Robertson of MP3.com which stated that T666 was "cheating". Consequently, an article was published on Dmusic.com entitled "T666 Involved in Cheating Scam". In our view this is defamatory of T666 as it implies that we were involved in fraudulent, illegitimate activity. While we do not concede that we operated in a "deeplinking activity", deeplinking is not illegitimate, it is standard Internet practice and does not breach the contract. ---
