[DMCA #1890758]: DMCA Takedown Notice
14 July, 2014 at 12:13
himself@wjjhoge.com

Hi there,
We've received the DMCA notice (http://chillingeffects.org/dmca512/faq.cgi#QID130) below regarding material published on your
WordPress.com site, which means the complainant is asserting ownership of this material and claiming that your use of it is not permitted by
him/her or the law. As required by the DMCA, we have disabled public access to the material. Please note that republishing the material
without permission from the copyright holder will result in the permanent suspension of your WordPress.com site and/or account.
Repeated incidents of copyright infringement will also lead to the permanent suspension of your WordPress.com site. We certainly don't want
that to happen, so please delete any other material you may have uploaded for which you don't have the necessary rights and and refrain from
uploading additional material that you do not have permission to upload. Although we can't provide legal advice, we're happy to point you to
copyright law resources that might help you make this determination.
Alternatively, if you believe that this notice was received in error, or if you believe your usage of this material falls under the Fair Use provision
of US Copyright Law, it's important that you submit a formal DMCA counter-notice to ensure that your WordPress.com site remains
operational. A valid counter-notice will result in the material being returned to your site in 10 business days if the complainant does not reply
with legal action.
Please refer to the following pages for more information:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/counter-notice/
http://automattic.com/dmca/dmca-counter-notice/
After the notice, there is a list of the material claimed to be in breach of copyright, with the action that we have taken on this occasion. This is
the response that we have sent the complainant.
Thank you.

--- BEGIN NOTICE --Dear Designated Agent:


This will probably be a bit more personal than the usual DMCA Takedown Request you receive. I am in the midst of a Copyright Infringement
Suit filed by William John Joseph Hoge III, who operates a Wordpress.com blog called Hogewash.com.
Before I detail the nature of this takedown, I have a question. Who owns the copyright on material published on a Wordpress.com blog? Your
Terms of Service make it appear that Wordpress.com owns the ultimate copyright. Am I correct in that assumption? Or can a user of a
Wordpress.com blog write up his own Terms of Service that seem to contradict the Wordpress.com ToS. As you peruse this Takedown
request, I invite you to review Mr. Hoges terms at http://hogewash.com/the-fine-print/
My name is William M. Schmalfeldt, 6636 Washington Blvd. #71, Elkridge, Maryland, USA, 21075
410-206-9637
bschmalfeldt@comcast.net
I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner,
its agent, or the law.
I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act
on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
I acknowledge that a copy of this infringement notice, including any contact information I provided above (address, telephone number, and
email address), will be forwarded to the user who uploaded the content at issue.
I electronically sign below.
William M. Schmalfeldt

--- END NOTICE --1. http://hogewash.com/2014/05/31/orion-in-3d/
