| We are right holders in Japanese audio-visual works and are
associations of right holders as such. A large amount of audio-visual
works are uploaded without right holders' permission on your YouTube.com
website, resulting in copyright infringement. To deal with this
situation, we have been taking the "Notice and Takedown" procedures
based on the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which imposes much
time and effort on us. However, as a large number of audio-visual works
are illegally uploaded despite our notices, we are seriously concerned
about the current situation where the Notice and Takedown scheme, aimed
to prevent copyright infringements, is not functioning well due to the
large volume of illegal uploads. Taking into account the current status of your service, we believe that your company should not just wait for right owners to take the "Notice and Takedown" procedures but should bear the responsibility to prevent, in advance, copyright infringements such as illegal uploads and distributions, or to avoid those infringements. We hereby request you to implement an infringement-preventive system, which eliminates copyright infringement by employing various technologies of today and the efforts of the website operator, and which identifies and indicates uploaded works from legitimate right holders. While we expect you to promptly take adequate and necessary measures to prevent copyright infringement on the YouTube website, until you do so, we request you to take provisional measures, including but not limited to those listed below, in order to prevent illegal uploads of audio-visual works, which copyrights are neither owned by the persons posting the works on the website themselves nor licensed by right owners:
We kindly request you respond to this letter no later than December 15, 2006. Please send your reply to : Network Section, Transmission Rights Department, JASRAC, 3-6-12 Uehara, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 151-8540 Japan.
