cease and desisted
« on: October 10, 2007, 02:09:18 pm »
after 9 years of hosting mega man music on tph i've been cease and desisted by capcom of japan. so you'll get a nice copy of the word doc i got instead of the music if you try to go to those albums they so kindly demanded i take down.

however i hear there are better ways of getting things these days.

lol so now they're cease and desisting me for posting the cease and desist:

Sir:

We are totally disappointed to find the infringing music data have been
replaced with our letter for Notification of Copyright Infringement to
you.

YOU MUST DELETE ALL THE LETEERS AS WELL AS THE REFERENCE TO "MEGA MAN"
AND "ROCKMAN" RIGHT NOW.

Now we have fully realized you have no intention to amicably resolve
this matter.

Best regards,

Oh man, they're "totally" dissapointed.

So am I.

Shit.  Well, I mean I'm pretty sure most of us already have every Mega Man soundtrack there was on this site, but still.  Protman.com without Mega Man soundtracks is kind of like Galbadia Hotel without the Final Fantasy soundtracksOH WAIT.

It almost feels like they were yelling as they wrote this.

RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW.

Anyways, this sucks for me. I haven't had enough time to re-download everything yet. At least Protoman isn't the only place on the internet to get Megaman music.

Meh, I don't know.  The E-mail looks a little fake to me.  The misspellings alone are enough to make me question the validity of the E-mail.  Capcom may have a bad translation department, but their spelling is usually correct.

Huh?  If all references to Mega Man/Rockman were taken down, then this wouldn't be much of a fansite now would it?  Again, there are lots of Rockman fansites (most of them host music too), and Capcom isn't trying to close them down.  My guess it that you have someone who is for some reason or another bent on taking this site down, and they are just posing as Capcom.  Maybe they wanted the C&D letter removed because they will get in major trouble if the real Capcom IP people see it.  I don't blame you for following the instructions of the E-mail, but I am just making an observation.

I have been coming to this site for a long time, and have enjoyed the media that was available here.  It is a shame that most everything is being taken down.  Since Atomic Fire is merging with Mega Man Network, there is a slight shortage Rockman media.  I guess the shortage just increased.

Too bad that this happened.  Good luck on getting this issue worked out.

if it was fake it was a really well done fake in terms of email headers. and i guess you didn't see the actual cease and desist letter but it was very well done too. the thing is that if i were younger i wouldn't have done anything but i have other priorities now and i have to do what's right for the thousands of people who are dependent on me at the other sites rather than the few people who are really not dependent on me here (torrents ftw).

Seems as though the torrents like to take out certin music files in a soundtrack to tease you.
