Hello Ian,

To confirm our conversation of earlier, we have been approached
regarding part of the contents of your web site.

Could you possibly clarify whether you hold copyright to publish the
files regarding the Elite computer game on your web site?

I am surprised to hear this because, as I can assure you, I have
received no complaints concerning the material on my site and would have
expected so to do were there any legitimate objections to it.
Please forward me a copy of the email concerned so I can consider this
matter further.

Were you able to confirm whether you have the copyright for the

You told me that Mr David Braben had complained to you concerning the
material on my site. I asked you to put the details of this complaint in
writing and you have not yet done so. I refer you to my previous email.

Further to my initial email.

I would be grateful if you could let me know whether you are able to
answer my question and if so what the answer is?
