The provider Easyspace has taken the content of the financialcrimes.com website off the web after lawyers of the Financial Times have complained about the website's content.
In an email forwarded to the IMC UK the lawyers state:
"1. The Document reproduces material which infringes our client's copyright. In particular we refer to the "flying man" illustration on page 1 of the Document and to the extract from the front page of the Financial Times for June 19/June 20 1999 which appears on page 13 of the Document.
2. Further, by using a combination of elements confusingly similar to our client's proprietary get up (including the uniquely distinctive pink background which has been used by our client since 1893) the Document amounts to a misrepresentation that is calculated to damage the considerable and global goodwill attaching to our client's business. In other words, your customer is committing the tort of passing off."
