Re: [DMCA-Activists] CFP: NY Fair Use Meeting, Sunday April 13, 2003

[Ruben Safir]

I regret to say, your not authorized to speal for NY Fair Use
as NY Fair Use is a trademark of NYLXS.  We've sent a certified 
letter to Brett from our lawyer about this.

Seth, you haven't spoken to anyone from NY Fair Use in months.

Furthermore, NYLXS doesn't work with you because your group has
taken hostile actitivy against both NYLXS and NY Fair Use, to
include abuse of our copyrighted materials, trademarks and 
reputation.

You are to stop doing this, or your facing legal action.
