DCMA Question?

[schockergd]

Just got a email from a guy that was complaining I "Stole" a article from Associated content from him (I have a RSS feed on an autoblog).

I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of the work and all copies of it, that you remove any further works you may have stolen and that you desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future. Furthermore, I demand that you post an apology on the site clarifying who the real author is and that you inform others that might have been misled by your misuse of the works’ origins.

Now, I've already taken the post off, it was no biggie and the site gets nearly no traffic. However do you ever respond to notices like this, or just take off offending material and not respond?

The link had a typical AC site link back to the original work, which if he was sane he'd be happy getting a link from a PR4 website.

I usually just remove it and never respond.

Tell him you've posted an apology and give him a link to the page you had his article on.

I would respond and say it's been removed, thank you.

Anything else he asks you should ignore.
