U.S. Chamber Statement on Removing Fake Website

WASHINGTON, D.C.-The U.S. Chamber of Commerce issued the following statement today regarding a fake web site that infringes on the Chamber's copyrights:

"Consistent with our legal right to protect our intellectual property, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce requested that the Hurricane Electric, an upstream provider, take down a fake site that appeared to be, but was not, from the Chamber. The Chamber never requested removal of the web site <theyesmen.org> or <theyesmenfixtheworld.com> or any sites other than <chamber-of-commerce.us>. Hurricane Electric told us that it could not respond because it was an upstream provider. We took no other action with Hurricane."
