Notification of video infringement on the internet – XXI Olympic Winter Games in 2010 in Vancouver, 12 – 28 February 2010

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you on behalf of the International Olympic Committee.

Through its monitoring system, the IOC has become aware that, on your website www.njnnetwork.com, there is video from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, found

https://www.njnnetwork.com/?p=33128

Date seen 14 February 2010

Please note that the IOC owns and controls all rights in relation to moving images of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Olympic material may not be transmitted or communicated via the internet or any other interactive media or electronic medium without the express prior written approval of the IOC, which has not been granted to you in the present case. Moreover, your unauthorised display of video over the internet causes prejudice to the exclusive rights-holders who have received authorisation from the IOC to do so. The availability of moving images related to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games on your website is therefore a clear violation of the IOC’s rights.

Therefore, in view of the above, the IOC requests that you immediately and permanently remove all moving images of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games from your website.

The IOC hereby states, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notice is accurate.

The IOC reserves all rights and remedies it deems necessary in relation to this matter, including seeking injunctive relief, costs and damages, including punitive damages, where appropriate.

Please confirm by today, 15 February 2010, end of business day, to the following e-mail address legal.monitoring2010@olympic.org that you have complied with the above.

Yours sincerely,
