Dear Logic-Users,

I am very concerned about the implications on my company reputation as one of your posts is appearing as "number 3" and "number 4" in Google Search results when a customer searches for our domain name. It includes very misleading information which could have a negative impact on our company and brand. Here is the link to this post:

And here is the impact it is having on Google...

I totally understand that the views expressed are not your own, and that this is a forum, however, I am requesting that you (as the moderator of the site) remove any pages that refer to us acting in any type of "illegal activity". We have never sold illegal products, and we would never do this. We are a legitimate Sample CD retailer (and developer). We buy our products from Time+Space, Loopmasters, AMG, etc... Thirdly, we are major contributors to the "Anti-Piracy" forums that are being set up to counteract Piracy on torrent sites. I would be happy for you to contact any of the above suppliers to confirm that we are a 100% legitimate retailer of Sample CDs. If you ask them what Jan Franklin's attitude to illegal downloads of Sample CDs is.. You will get a VERY strong reaction. We are systematically going through all of the major developers urging them to take ACTION against illegal sites and individuals who are destroying the industry. 

For a short while we did sell some Synthesizer Patch sample cds, however, these did not include the original patches from the original synthesizers and therefore, this was not unlawful. They were simply recordings of fresh "non-factory" presets, very much like developers of new synth sound banks make money from selling patches for the Access Virus, etc. One of your users states:

"it is, in fact, totally illegal and in most courts or law across the world could be prosecuted under various copyright laws and laws relating to 'unfair trading' "

I don't appreciate this. I also think the way that our company name (Inspiration Sounds) seems to be linked with www.flossmodestudios.com is also misleading. We have nothing to do with this company and we have no associations with them. I have sent this email to your "WHOIS" lookup email address, but I thought I would also post it here so your users no our stance on this matter. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. 

Kind regards,

Jan Franklin (Owner - Inspiration Sounds)
