[UNSDB] Text of the letter sent by HG's lawyers

---Quote from corresponding thread on the Macrossworld forums---

"Dear Mr. [owner of the store]:

We are litigation counsel to Harmony Gold. For many years Harmony Gold has
owned certain exclusive rights in and to the television series MACROSS
throughout the world (excluding Japan)(the "Harmony Gold Territory").
Harmony Gold's exclusive rights extend, without limitation, to the
distribution of the Macross television series and the right to create and
authorize the sale of merchandise based on such series.

We understand that your company has obtained certain MACROSS toys from one
or more companies that are not authorized to sell MACROSS merchandise in the
Harmony Gold Territory and that you intend to sell, or are already selling,
such merchandise to the public. Any sale or offer to sell such merchandise
constitutes a violation of Harmony Gold's rights under US copyright law.

Demand is hereby made that you cease and desist from any further efforts to
advertise, publicize or ofer for sale any Macross merchandise unless such
merchandise was sold or delivered to you by HG or an authorized licensee of
Harmony Gold. We also demand that you identify the person or entity from
whom or from which you purport to have obtained such merchandise along with
any other pertinent details.

Demand is further made that you: (1) deliver any and all merchandise
currently in your possession or under your control to Harmony Gold; and (2)
provide Harmony Gold with written assurance that you will comply with the
demands contained herein.

If we do not receive a satisfactory response by close of business on April
19, 2002, we will pursue our rights to the fullest extent allowed by law.

This letter is not intended to be a complete recitation of all the facts or
law relevant to this matter. All of Harmony Gold's rights and remedies are
reserved.

Very truly yours,

GAIMS, WEIL, WEST, & EPSTEIN, LLP

Marc Epstein"
