**Re: Notification of United States Copyright Law Violations at Listed URLs**

Dear Mr. Mathiesen:

Thank you for your email of February 3, 2011. Sony Computer

Entertainment America LLC ("SCEA") appreciates Gitorious’s prompt

compliance with SCEA’s prior takedown request and removal of the

repositories at the addresses referenced in our February 1, 2011

letter (the "Feb. 1, 2011 URLs"). As you have requested, the following

shall explain how the content at the Feb. 1, 2011 URLs is unlawful

under Norwegian law.

The Norwegian Copyright Act contains prohibitions against the

circumvention of effective technological protection

measures. Specifically, section 53a of the Copyright Act prohibits the

"circumvent[ion of] effective technological protection measures that

the right holder, or others he has given permission, employs to

control the copying or making available to the public of a protected

work." The files hosted at the Listed URLs are circumvention devices

that violate this statutory provision because they circumvent

technological protection measures in SCEA’s PlayStation® 3 computer

entertainment system that protect copyrighted works, including SCEA

copyrighted software programs, Programmer Tools, and video

games. Thus, the content at the Listed URLs is in violation of

Norwegian law as circumvention devices in violation of section 53a

Norwegian Copyright Act.

Gitorious’s hosting of the content at the Listed URLs subjects it to

direct liability under the Norwegian Copyright Act. Specifically, it

is unlawful under section 53a to: "a) sell, rent or in any other way

make available, b) manufacture or import for the making available to

the public, c) advertise for sale or rental, d) possess for commercial

purposes, or e) offer services in connection with" the aforementioned

circumvention devices. Similarly, under section 53c, "[t]he sale of,

or possession for purposes of gain, of any means the sole purpose of

which is to facilitate the unlawful removal or circumvention of

technical devices for the protection of a computer program, is

prohibited."

We note that Gitorious’s hosting of the content at the Listed URLs, or

any similar content constitutes multiple violations of the

abovementioned provisions of the Norwegian Copyright Act, including

but not limited to "mak[ing] available," "import[ing] for the making

available to the public," "possess[ing] for commercial purposes,"

and/or "possession for purposes of gain."

Furthermore, Gitorious’s hosting activities give rise to liability for

contributory copyright infringement under the Norwegian Copyright Act

sections 2 and 54. Specifically, the content at the Listed URLs

facilitate infringement of copyrighted works, as discussed above. By

hosting the content at the Listed URLs, Gitorious is thereby making

the files more accessible to the public, and consequently,

facilitating copyright infringement of protected works. *See* the

Norwegian Supreme Court’s napster.no case (Rt. 2005 s. 41) (holding

owner of the website www.napster.no was liable for contributory

infringement).

In the time that has passed since your last correspondence, we have

identified similar content at additional URLs hosted by Gitorious (the

"Feb. 16, 2011 URLs"). Please refer to the table below identifying the

Specifically, the content at the Listed URLs markets, traffics in,

distributes, and offers "Custom Firmware," "Keys," and/or "Signing

Tools" files or components thereof. These files or components thereof

are illegal because they facilitate infringement of copyrighted works,

including SCEA copyrighted software programs, Programmer Tools, and

video games, in violation of the Norwegian Copyright Act sections 2

and 54, and the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101, *et

seq*. and 17 U.S.C. § 501, *et seq*. The files also constitute

circumvention programs, technologies, devices, services, or components

because they circumvent SCEA’s PlayStation®3 computer entertainment

system’s technological protection measures in violation of the

Norwegian Copyright Act section 53 and the United States Digital

Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 1201, *et seq*.

I have a good faith basis that the web content at the Listed URLs is

an infringement of SCEA’s rights under Norwegian and United States

copyright law, and that the infringing content is authorized by

neither SCEA nor the law.

**Accordingly, SCEA requests that you immediately take down the web

content at all of the URLs listed above. Please remove the content as

soon as possible, and no later than by February 23, 2011.** Thank you

in advance for your continued cooperation and assistance. If you have

listed above.

Sincerely,

KILPATRICK TOWNSEND & STOCKTON LLP
