Cease and Desist
Written by Administrator
Saturday, 18 February 2006
Comedy adult homepage, Upthegary.com, are reporting they received a cease and desist letter from Axl's lawyers for hosting IRS. The letter said,
Dear Sir or Madam:
This law firm represents W. Axl Rose. I am authorized to act on his behalf with respect to his intellectual property rights. It has come to our attention that you have posted a link enabling a user to stream a song from Mr. Rose's forthcoming "Chinese Democracy" album. Specifically the sound recording of "I.R.S." is available for streaming by accessing
http://www.upthegary.com/01_i
[1].r.s.mp3. This violates both the copyrights in the musical composition as well as the sound recording.
Copyright infringement is punishable through the imposition of injunctive relief as well as actual damages in the amount of your profits, or in the alternative statutory damages up to $250,000 per infringement, punitive damages, attorneys? fees, and costs of suit. Please confirm immediately that you will cooperate and remove the sound recording and destroy any copies, electronic or otherwise, in your possession. Should you fail to do so, Mr. Rose will not hesitate to exercise all of his legal rights against you, including suing you for copyright infringement. Thank you for your anticipated prompt cooperation.
Sincerely,
/s/ Greg Gabriel Greg Gabriel, Esq.
Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman Machtinger & Kinsella LLP
1900 Avenue of the Stars
21st Floor
Los Angeles, California 90067
(310) xxx-xxxx
(310) xxx-xxxx facsimile
Please note that Upthegary.com has some extreme adult content.
This proves that AXL is NOT in favor of any leaked material and people need to STOP leaking it or suffer the consequences.

hahaha, damn that's harsh!
i love it.
axl must be so mad now, which sucks.
this will surely be interesting.
any stupid conspiracy theory suggesting that axl leaked the clips can be laid to rest now, thank god.
does this also actually confirm that IRS was slated for chinese democracy? very interesting.

I wonder how many unofficial forums will get this same letter.
Some probably still have links posted.

Axl made us wait for too long. It's a miracle it didn't happen way earlier... in 2001 or 2002...

Until the radio stations that are playing the song(s) over and over get the same cease / desist, I'm going to feel that this is just standard 'protect the copyright' action that would happen with, anything.
The letter's pretty standard, afterall.

Yeah, I kinda doubt this stuff. When radios get a similar letter, then I'll believe it.

i kinda feel bad for axl that all this is happening, it's a bitter-sweet situation for me.
he worked so hard on this groundbreaking material, just for it to be leaked onto the internet.
sucks.
but we'll see what happens.

Thats an unfair statement, Axl's a perfectionist, wel all know that, and he doesn't want anything devaluing his masterpiece, demo's or not. So he is well entitled to take action cause he didn't want it to happen in the first place!
So because it's Axl or because you label him a perfectonist that makes it right to sue the people who put you where you are in the first place
