Here is the letter from FOX. The network that has nothing better to do than to hire worthless high school drop outs to surf the net looking for Simpsons and X Files web pages. It's sad that they take such pleasure in harassing fans of their network!!

Re: UNAUTHORIZED USE OF TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX PROPERTIES OUR REF. NO.: FX1248

Dear Sir or Madam:

We are writing to you on behalf of our client, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation ("Fox"). Through our Internet monitoring program, we recently discovered that your web site (http://geocities.datacellar.net/Hollywood/1740/sounds.htm) incorporates material from "The Simpsons" television series and "The X-Files" television series,both of which are owned by Fox.

Fox has dedicated tremendous time and resources to create quality entertainment programming such as "The Simpsons" and "The X-Files" and greatly values the comments and suggestions of fans who enjoy Fox's programs. However, the development and distribution of Fox's programs require a collaboration with many different entities, including guild organizations representing actors, directors, and writers, as well as local, national, and international television and cable stations. Based in part on these relationships, Fox has a legal responsibility, including many contractual obligations, to prevent the unauthorized distribution of its program material.

Therefore, while Fox tries to support its fans whenever possible, we must respectfully ask that you remove all audio clips relating to "The Simpsons" and/or "The X-Files" from your web site as soon as possible. If you do not remove these properties, we may be forced to take legal action to have them removed. In addition, we request that you remove any and all links to other sites containing infringing "The Simpsons" and/or "The X-Files" material. Although we are currently requesting that the operators of these linked-to sites remove the infringements, regardless of their compliance with our request, we are notifying you that liability for contributory copyright infringement can emanate from providing such links.

Thank you for your cooperation in this regard. Your interest in "The Simpsons" and "The X-Files" is most appreciated. Fox will continue to do its best to bring you quality entertainment.

The account from which this email message was sent to you does not accept incoming email. If you wish to contact me, please write to the address listed at the top of this letter.

Nothing contained in this letter constitutes an express or implied waiver of any rights, remedies, or defenses of Fox.

Very truly yours,
/s/
Dennis L. Wilson
for BAKER & HOSTETLER LLP
