hi,
are you actually a company?
…..and would subject your company to liability for copyright infringement……
if so, drag.
if not:legal loophole.
That’s just a legal form letter, don’t let it scare you. But if you have responded in writing you may have to be accountable for any agreements you have made.
Anyone else interested that is not a company may also want to look into this.
Also foreign sites are USUALLY only held accountable by the copyright laws within that country.
just sayin.

Thanks for posting the “cease and desist” order, since it includes the address of the site in question. If your intention in doing that was to continue advertising the site, yet doing so in a legal fashion, it was genius. I learned everything that I needed to know just as easily as if your original post were still up. Bravo.

[...] 7. NHL Cease and Desist Order – I was pretty excited when I started linking to free streaming NHL hockey games, but then that all got torn down when the NHL sent me this letter. People then started suggesting that it was my fault. [...]

myp2p.eu got threatened by a Dutch television group for basically doing the same things this site was doing (posting links to games, yada yada) but it ends up that myp2p won their court case. I dont know if this pertains to you but at least one court out there found that simply posting links was perfectly legal.

The NHL is really cracking down on all websites with free links to games. They still have not found the site I got to, but I’m sure it will happen soon. Ever since they got the gamecenter thing they are trying to sell they’ve been like the ATF kicking down doors.

Maybe if they lowered the gamecenter price to something reasonable people would buy into it.

Another example of pushing people around with the law. You have done nothing wrong but I totally understand why you took the links down. Who wants to fight with a law firm with an unlimited budget.

Whoever is blaming this site is just plain moronic. What makes you morons think that ATDHE was some kind of secret. you all realize, that if you typed ‘watch free hockey’ into google, guess what came up?
but you’re right, i’m sure the fat cats of the NHL would have NEVER thought to type such a thing into google. get real.
