A Cease and Desist Copyright letter is utilized when a copyright holder discovers unauthorized use of their protected work and wishes to stop the infringement without immediate court intervention. This document, governed by U.S. federal copyright law, serves as a formal warning and typically precedes legal action. The letter outlines the copyright ownership, details the specific infringement, and demands immediate cessation of unauthorized use. It's particularly effective in establishing a paper trail of attempted resolution and demonstrating the infringer's awareness of their actions, which can be crucial if litigation becomes necessary.
