We are the solitictors instructed by MasterCard International Inc ("MasterCard). As you are no doubt aware, our client provides a wide range of payment products and services throughout the world. The MasterCard brand is one of hte most widely recognized brands in the world and has established an enornmous amuont of goodwill and reputation. You may not be aware that our client is the registered proprietor of numerous trade marks worldwide, including a UK trademark registration for PRICELESS. In addition, our client has a number of UK trade mark registrations for MASTERCARD.

MasterCard advertises its various payment products and services through a variety of means and campaigns. Our client is currently running a worldwide PRICELESS advertising campaign. The PRICELESS campaign was launched in the UK in October 1999 and is one of the most successful campaigns in advertising at the current time. PRICELESS advertisements can be seen on the television, in the cinema and in the press. The advertisements feature the names and/or images of a series of goods or services purchased by one or more individuals and which with either voice-overs and/or other visual displays, convey to the viewer the price of each of these items (the "masterCard Priceless Advertisements"). At the end of the MasterCard PRICELESS advertisements, a phrase identifying some priceless intangible that cannot be purchased is followed by a word and/or voice-over "priceless."


(... cease and desist BS)

Anal retentive much, are they!? I just can't seem to understand why a multinational corporation such as master card would even bother an issue like this. It seems that it would be higher waste of expenses in contact than would be a threat had they let the topic be. Not to mention to other countless parodies available. But more importantly, this just urges one question be asked.....









Where are you finding these $100 Box sets?

Everybody knows that sound that is digitally put through a speaker for your listening pleasure is really worth 750-15,000 dollars per song if you have it on your computer.

I mean, of COURSE you deserve to have your cash funds fucked in the ear by the RIAA. They just aren't making enough money for the repeated garbage that is filling the airwaves!

Kudos to you, hard working musicians of the world, who oh so flawlessly produce the exact same song and expect the public to pay to listen to it!

But seriously, I don't use file sharing.
