Dear Abuse Team,
We represent Citigroup Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Limited, and Citibank, N.A. (collectively “Citi”) in connection with intellectual property matters. As you are likely aware, Citi is one of the world’s leading financial institutions, offering a wide range of financial services, including credit and debit card services, consumer banking, global wealth management, institutional banking, and investment consulting, advisory and research services, among other products and services.
It has recently come to our client’s attention that your organization is hosting a website at
www.econintersect.com www.econintersect.com> (the “Infringing Site”) that provides unauthorized access to one of our client’s proprietary Citi Research reports and other proprietary content or parts thereof (“Content”). Citi’s Content is protected by copyright law. Our client invested a significant amount of time and effort creating and developing its Content. As the exclusive owner of the copyright rights in and to its Content, Citi has, among other rights, the right to reproduce, distribute, and/or publicly display its Content, or to authorize the reproduction, distribution, and/or public display of such Content. The Content is offered and provided by Citi only through special relationships with clients, other institutions and authorized recipients, or pursuant to specific government regulations. Such access is specifically provided in concert with prohibitions on not only the unauthorized republication or posting of the Content on the Internet, and the unauthorized redistribution of the Content by e-mail, but also a prohibition on providing or sharing a live link or URL so that a third party can access the Content without authorization. The Content is intended for specific clients or other authorized recipients, and access to the Content is otherwise intended to be restricted through the password-protected websites or mobile applications.
The Infringing Site never received authorization from Citi to use any of its Content. Through this unauthorized and infringing use of the Content, the Infringing Site is creating the false impression that our client is affiliated with or endorses the Infringing Site and its services, or that our client is otherwise connected with the Infringing Site.
Given the foregoing, we request that you immediately ensure that our client’s Content at https://econintersect.com/pages/investing/investing.php?post=201808040100 is removed from the Infringing Site.
We have a good faith belief that the Infringing Site’s conduct described above is not authorized by Citi, its agents or the law.
We declare under penalty of perjury that the above information is accurate and we are authorized to act on behalf of Citi, the owner of the rights infringed.
Please send us written confirmation within *seven (7) *days that you have complied with the foregoing. We note that your failure to comply could result in your being held contributorily and/or vicariously liable for the Infringing Site’s unlawful conduct.
This correspondence is without prejudice to any of our client’s rights, remedies or defenses, all of which are expressly reserved.
Yours very truly,
FROSS ZELNICK LEHRMAN & ZISSU, P.C.

The strange thing is that the graphic they are discussing still exists on the internet – including the source article which was syndicated to econintersect.

The way copyright infringement works on the internet is that you are guilty immediately – it is no use fighting it. and if you think poor econintersect has the deep pockets of Citibank and its team of lawyers …..
