Dear Sir or Madam:
We are legal counsel to Nintendo of America Inc. (referred to here, with its parent and affiliated companies, as "Nintendo"). As you are no doubt well aware, Nintendo is one of the world's leading developers and distributors of video game products. The Pokemon franchise is one of Nintendo's most popular game series, selling over 200 million units during the past 15 years, with many new releases planned for the future. The intellectual property associated with the games, including the copyright in the underlying software code, visual depictions of the games, and characters found within the games, is the subject of copyright protection in the United States and abroad.
We are aware that content from the game "Pokemon X/Y" has been leaked. While Nintendo appreciates your interest in and support of the Pokemon game series, your publication of this content infringes Nintendo's copyrights in violation of federal law.
We have accordingly submitted a copyright infringement notice to your domain registrar under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and anticipate that your website will be taken down shortly. We encourage you to immediately remove the game from your website and cease to support the game in any manner including running a game server, distributing game clients, and providing game updates. Going forward, you must also refrain from distributing any games that infringe Nintendo's rights in the Pokemon series or any other game.
Your full and immediate compliance with the foregoing should render further action on Nintendo's part unnecessary.
Cease and desist.
Regards,
NINTENDO COMPANY
