Dear SourceForge Legal: 

Adobe Systems Incorporated (“Adobe”) is the developer of technological protection measures that protect content from unauthorized copying and distribution.

Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. S 512), Adobe hereby notifies SourceForge, Inc. (“SourceForge”) of infringing material that resides on SourceForge.net.  Pursuant to  17 U.S.C. S 512(c)(3)(A) and the SourceForge.net Notification Procedures, Adobe provides the following notification:

a) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site. 

The rtmpdump utility hosted on SourceForge.net (see URL below) can be used to download copyrighted works, such as those on www.channel4.com. The following is a representative list of such content (visited May 6, 2009):

b) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disables, and information reasonably sufficient to permit SourceForge to locate the material (e.g., URL).

d) I have a good faith belief that use of the material described above in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

e) The information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Accordingly, we ask that you: 1) expeditiously remove or disable access to the infringing material; and 2) identify the person or persons responsible for posting the infringing material.  If you are unwilling or unable to provide this information for privacy or other reasons, we will issue a subpoena seeking the same.

Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. 

Very truly yours,
