Whatever the issue between Boris and Sergei is, I welcome that question for facts.
The facts are:
- lens-club.ru allows its users to upload content. I don't know the laws in Russia, but over here it's in the responsibility of the site owner to prohibit copyright violations, maybe even before they can happen, but at least after they happened and the site owner got knowledge about it.
- lens-club.ru hosts copies of lots of our copyrighted material. They don't just link to it, it's copied there.
- Sergei was contacted by Klaus months ago already (on September 6th, 2012), was informed that his site features our copyrighted material and was asked to remove that content immediately. Sergei did not even bother to answer.
- We are in no way connected with Boris. The only relationship we have is that he uses our forum, which is open to anyone.
