Dear Mr. Christopher Alex Penalber,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you on behalf of Cursed Corset, the band you were previously associated with as a guitarist. It has come to our attention that you have been making slanderous and libelous remarks and comments on various social media platforms concerning the members of Cursed Corset.
First and foremost, we would like to address the fact that your contributions as a songwriter on our album release, "All Laced Up With Nowhere To Go," have been duly recognized and credited. We value the creative efforts of all those involved in the production of our music, and we have honored your contributions accordingly. Therefore, any claims suggesting otherwise are completely unfounded and misleading.
While we acknowledge your right to express your opinions, it is imperative that these expressions do not cross the line into defamatory statements and libelous comments. We understand that individuals may have differing perspectives and experiences, but we believe that it is essential to approach any disagreements or disputes with professionalism and respect.
It is worth noting that at no point have any members of Cursed Corset engaged in the same behavior of slandering or making libelous remarks towards you on social media. We have always sought to maintain a level of integrity and discretion, refraining from publicly discussing the reasons for your departure from the band. In fact, we sent you a formal business letter via email explicitly outlining the reasons behind our decision in order to maintain transparency and address any concerns you may have had.
Therefore, we kindly request that you cease and desist from posting any further defamatory or libelous remarks towards the members of Cursed Corset. Such behavior not only damages the reputation and livelihood of the individuals involved but also undermines the spirit of artistic collaboration and mutual respect within the music community.
Should you have any grievances or concerns regarding your association with Cursed Corset or our album release, we encourage you to address them privately through the appropriate channels. Engaging in public slander and libel does not contribute to a constructive resolution and only serves to perpetuate unnecessary animosity.
We hope that you will give due consideration to this request and take the necessary steps to rectify the situation. Failure to comply with this cease and desist notice may result in legal action being pursued to protect the rights and interests of Cursed Corset.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We trust that you will act in a responsible and professional manner moving forward.
Sincerely,
Cursed Corset
Repugnant Entertainment, ASCAP
