To whom it may concern:
I am the Director of Litigation at Random House, Inc., publisher
of Signing: How to Speak with Your Hands written XXXXXXXXXXXX and
illustrated by XXXXXXXXXX. Your website www.gapingmaw.com has
copied multiple illustrations by Ms. XXXXXXXXXXXX from Signing without consent
in violation of the Copyright Act. Further, your website has copied
several photos from the book in violation of the Copyright Act. The use
of these photos - which include two photographs of XXXXXXXXXXXXX a
senior executive of Random House, Inc. - also constitute defamation,
false light and invasion of Ms. XXXXXXXXXXXX's right of privacy and
publicity.
Please cease and desist immediately from using all content

pursue all appropriate legal action.
