Aces High General Discussion
Dear Mr. (Revor)
It has come to our attention that the web page you have posted on
http:///www.hitechcreations.com/frindex.html, contains an unauthorized version of our Anheuser-Busch radio advertisement that is part of our long-running and successful Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" campaign (the "Advertisements").
The Advertisements are copyrighted content owned by Anheuser-Busch, and your unauthorized use of the Advertisements infringes Anheuser-Busch's exclusive rights under 17 U.S.C. § 106. Moreover, your use of the Advertisements reference creates a significant likelihood that visitors to this site will be confused as to Anheuser-Busch's relationship with you, in violation of 15 U.S.C. §1125(a) and the statutory and common law of various states, including Texas and Missouri.
We are writing to offer you the opportunity to resolve this matter simply and expeditiously. We demand that you immediately remove the"Real American Hobos" reference and respond to this letter confirming your agreement not to post any further content owned by Anheuser-Busch , nor make use of any Anheuser-Busch trademarks. If we do not hear from you by Friday, August 26, 2006, we reserve the right to pursue any and all legal remedies available to Anheuser-Busch. We look forward to your prompt response.
Very truly yours,
Barry Lip****z
Associate General Counsel
