Re: Movie Poetry

Dear Sirs:

It has come to my attention that you are illegally posting copyrighted material which belongs to one of my clients, David Covington.

The cinematic poetry you are posting under the title "Quoth The Sixth Grader" is, in fact, plagiarized material. It is a literal transcript of Mr. Covington's 1983 spoken word album, Iambic Pontifications.

Iambic Pontifications is one of the most successful spoken word albums of all time. That being said, I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that you do not own one of the fifty-seven (57) recordings sold and the material was misrepresented to you by the elementary school student.

I am sure Li'l Robby Braithwaite is very smart in his own right, but there are laws protecting artists and allowances for compensation when their work is used. Mr. Covington was not approached prior to the posting of his poems, nor was he compensated for their use.

Unless reparations can be agreed upon, consider this letter as a formal request for Mr. Covington's poetry to be wiped from your database within forty-eight (48) hours of its receipt. Otherwise, we will have to proceed with a legal agenda.

Thank You for your immediate attention in this matter. Have a nice day.

Benjamin Overbrooke
Council for Mr. David Covington, poet laureate
