To whom it may concern
It has come to our attention that DVDs are being produced illegally of prize winning dances from Sequence Inventive Dance Competitions. Income is being received through a client database, despite the fact that the holder of the database was informed that this was not allowed, without obtaining permission and paying the appropriate fees to the individual organisations.
This action is a breach of copyright and procedures will be put into place by the British Dance Council if the selling of copyright DVDs is not ceased forthwith. The issuing of DVDs to clients also affects the clients who are obtaining illegal DVDs, and action against them may also be undertaken.
To date no permission has been given to any organisation for them to produce DVDs of Prize Winning Dances.
We would request the general public not to get involved in the purchasing of DVDs of prize winning sequence dances as this could have serious consequences.
Yours sincerely,
