These&lt;br&gt;domain name seizures have been undertaken primarily by ICE-Homeland Security&lt;br&gt;Investigations (&quot;HSI&quot;) through operations collectively known as Operation in Our Sites.&lt;br&gt;We have recently learned of two add-ons available through the Mozilla website that are&lt;br&gt;designed to circumvent the HSI domain name seizures. In particular, the add-ons&lt;br&gt;MafiaaFire Redirector and FireICE automatically redirect users from seized domain&lt;br&gt;names to new domain names of the sites, to the extent that the site operator has reestablished&lt;br&gt;the site under a new domain name. The sole and express intent and function&lt;br&gt;of the MafiaaFire and Fire ICE add-ons are to induce and contribute to copyright&lt;br&gt;infringement, including infringement of numerous NBCUniversal copyrighted properties.&lt;br&gt;The two add-ons are available through Mozilla&#039;s site at:&lt;br&gt;https:/ /addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mafiaafire-redirector/ and&lt;br&gt;https :/ /addons.mozilla.org/ dalfirefox/addon/fireice/&lt;br&gt;Please be advised that NBCUniversal considers Mozilla&#039;s offering of these two add-ons&lt;br&gt;to infringe NBCUniversal intellectual property rights. NBCUniversal demands that&lt;br&gt;Mozilla expeditiously remove and disable access to the add-ons.&lt;br&gt;The undersigned has a good faith beliefthat use of the material in the manner described&lt;br&gt;herein is not authorized by NBCUniversal, its agents or the law. The information in this&lt;br&gt;notice is accurate. Under penalty of perjury, the undersigned is authorized to act on&lt;br&gt;behalf of NBCUniversal with respect to this matter.&lt;br&gt;Please be advised that this letter is not intended as a complete statement of the facts or&lt;br&gt;law as they pertain to this matter. NBCUniversal reserves all rights and remedies.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;Very truly yours,&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Steve Kang<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;Vice President and Senior Counsel&lt;br&gt;Anti-Piracy Legal Affairs&lt;br&gt;100 Universal City Plaza&lt;br&gt;Universal City, CA 91 608&lt;br&gt;tel 818-777-2503&lt;br&gt;fax 81 8-866-6339&lt;br&gt;steve.kang@nbcuni.com&lt;br&gt;</div>
