LEGAL NOTICE OF MATERIAL BREACH, CEASE & DESIST DEMAND, AND INTENT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION (Pro Bono),PRO BONO INTAKE / FEE WAIVER REQUEST, CONTINGENCY CASE INTAKE: Willful Federal Copyright Infringement & Fraudulent DMCA Counter-Notice (Title: One Man's Deep Words)
To the Pro Bono Review Committee / Ingestion Director,
I am an international independent author writing from Lagos, Nigeria. I hold 100% clean, unencumbered rights to my 28-book published literary catalog [7/24]. I am requesting emergency pro bono legal representation (or an administrative hardship fee waiver) to address an active, cross-border federal copyright infringement and fraudulent DMCA exploitation case currently open in the Central District of California [7/24].
A California-based producer, Vincent Turner (operating under Off Campus Productions), executed a limited Shopping Agreement on my 2016 published master book, One Man's Deep Words, which permanently expired and legally terminated in April 2026 [7/2, 7/24]. Four months post-expiration, the producer willfully uploaded a completed 107-minute derivative film adaptation to Filmhub's commercial aggregation servers for global marketplace deployment [7/2, 6/11, 7/24].
Following my immediate copyright hold, the producer filed a formal DMCA Counter-Notice on Friday, August 7, 2026, asserting under penalty of perjury that he holds active distribution rights, thereby explicitly consenting to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the Central District of California.
Because I am managing this dispute independently on a zero-budget strategy from Lagos, I am extremely vulnerable to this corporate ambush [7/24]. Filmhub’s automated system is bound by federal rules to set his upload to active on Friday, August 21, 2026, unless a licensed attorney files a formal court docket or arbitration hold number to freeze the clock [6/11, 7/24].
The chain of title is visibly broken, and the defendant's own written emails to Filmhub explicitly confess to bad-faith material concealment [7/24]. I require an associate or pro bono litigator to file a simple, fast-tracked restraint docket to protect my intellectual property and compel the physical return of my production assets [6/11, 7/24].
Thank you for your time, protection, and consideration.
Sincerely,
Chimezie Ihekuna

CONTINGENCY CASE INTAKE: Willful Federal Copyright Infringement & Fraudulent DMCA Counter-Notice (Title: One Man's Deep Words)
I am an international author holding 100% clean, unencumbered custody of a 28-book literary catalog. I am seeking a California-licensed entertainment litigator to initiate fast-tracked federal litigation or mandatory arbitration on a contingency fee basis regarding a clear case of willful federal copyright infringement.
The defendant has no viable legal defense, holds zero active chain of title, and has exposed his production entity to significant federal statutory damages under 17 U.S.C. § 501 [7/24].
Case Parameters:
Prior Underlying Work (2016): My master underlying literary work, One Man’s Deep Words, was formally published in 2016, establishing global prior art records [7/24].
Expired Limited License: In April 2024, I executed a limited Shopping Agreement with Vincent Turner (d/b/a Off Campus Productions) based in Victorville, CA. This agreement carried a strict 24-month duration and permanently expired and legally terminated in April 2026 [7/2]. No extension amendment exists.
The Infringing Activity (August 2026): Four months post-expiration, the producer willfully bypassed my rights and uploaded a completed 107-minute unauthorized derivative feature film adaptation of my book to Filmhub’s commercial distribution servers [7/2, 6/11, 7/24].
The Perjury / Fraudulent Counter-Notice: Upon tracking the metadata and placing an immediate corporate hold, the producer executed a fraudulent DMCA Counter-Notice on Friday, August 7, 2026, stating under penalty of perjury that he has active distribution rights. In this federal document, he explicitly consented to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal District Court for the Central District of California.
The Current Crisis:
Filmhub's compliance desk has issued a strict 14-day automated clock. The title will automatically revert to "Active" status on his commercial dashboard on Friday, August 21, 2026, unless I provide official proof of a commenced legal restraint action [6/11].
I possess explicit written admissions from the producer via email to Filmhub confirming bad-faith activity (including intentionally withholding production screeners from me) [7/24], alongside the black-and-white signed contract proving expiration [7/2]. I require counsel to file an emergency restraint docket to freeze the Filmhub clock and compel the physical surrender of the 500GB master production hard drives [6/11, 7/3, 7/24].
I reported Fillmhub about Off Campus Productions unlawful attempt to upload the movie. This was what I got

LEGAL NOTICE OF MATERIAL BREACH, CEASE & DESIST DEMAND, AND INTENT TO INITIATE MANDATORY ARBITRATION
(Pro Bono)
DATE: August 8, 2026
FROM: Office of Chimezie Ihekuna, Licensor / Rights Holder
Vincent Turner, Individually and d/b/a Off Campus Productions
Robert Sacchi, Screenwriter / Contributory Infringer
VIA: Electronic Mail Recording / Registered Delivery
RE: Unauthorized Distribution, Misappropriation of Identity, and Willful Copyright Infringement of the Property One Man’s Deep Words
NOTICE TO RECIPROENTS:
You are hereby served with a formal Notice of Material Breach, an absolute Demand to Cease and Desist all unauthorized exploitation of the intellectual property described below, and notice of intent to file a fast-tracked California JAMS Arbitration Lawsuit under the fee-shifting provisions of the governing paperwork.
FACTUAL TIMELINE AND ESTABLISHED PRIOR ART
The Underlying Work (2016): The master literary property One Man’s Deep Words was formally published by Chimezie Ihekuna in 2016, establishing an ironclad, public prior art copyright registration under global intellectual property laws.The Limited License (April 2024): A temporary Shopping Agreement was executed in April 2024, granting Vincent Turner and Off Campus Productions a strict, conditional 24-month window to develop and shop a potential derivative adaptation.
The Permanent Expiration (April 2026): No formal, written, or signed Contract Extension Amendment was ever executed by the Licensor. Consequently, the agreement and all derivative exploitation rights permanently expired and legally terminated in April 2026. All rights instantly and completely reverted to the author.
II. SPECIFIC CIVIL AND STATUTORY COUNT CHARGES COUNT
1: Willful Statutory Copyright Infringement (17 U.S.C. § 501)In August 2026—four full months after the permanent termination of all contractual boundaries—Vincent Turner and Robert Sacchi acted in collusion to manually upload and distribute a completed 107-minute derivative motion picture file to Filmhub’s commercial distribution servers without a valid parent license.
Under U.S. federal law, willful infringement carries statutory damages ranging from $30,000 up to $150,000 per violation.
COUNT 2: Commercial Violation of Right of Publicity (California Civil Code § 3344)Vincent Turner willfully attempted to monetize and commercially exploit the legal name, creative identity, and direct un-cleared voiceover tracks of Chimezie Ihekuna on public streaming aggregator networks post-contract expiration, carrying mandatory statutory fines and punitive damages.
COUNT 3: Material Breach of the Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing Vincent
Turner has explicitly documented his own bad-faith operational behavior in writing to corporate entities, confessing to Filmhub's compliance desk that he intentionally withheld production screeners and milestones ("not intended to send out") from the underlying author while attempting to execute a unauthorized commercial rollout.
COUNT 4: Contributory and Vicarious Copyright Infringement
Robert Sacchi, with full knowledge that the parent 2024 agreement had permanently expired, actively collaborated to format script assets and finalize the 500GB master render for unauthorized distribution, establishing joint and several financial liability for all damages caused.
COUNT 5: Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage
By fabricating a fraudulent public directory footprint on platforms like IMDb and attempting to force un-cleared files onto Filmhub, the recipients have created a toxic administrative mess that directly damages the Licensor’s ability to cleanly package his 28-book creative empire with premier Manhattan talent agencies.
COUNT 6: Conversion (Civil Theft of Physical Property Assets)
Vincent Turner is currently holding the physical 500GB master hard drives, color layers, and split audio stems hostage in Victorville. Because all derivative rights have permanently terminated, withholding the physical production assets from the underlying copyright owner constitutes civil conversion.
III. MANDATORY LEGAL DEMANDS
To avoid immediate escalation to a formal JAMS Arbitration lawsuit, the recipients are strictly ordered to comply with the following three directives within 7 business days
(Deadline: Friday, August 14, 2026):Cease and Desist Distribution: Immediately withdraw all appeals to Filmhub, allow the unauthorized file to be purged, and completely halt any attempts to list, market, or upload the property to any alternative network or broadcaster
Scrub All Public Directories: Execute an immediate data removal request to scrub the un-cleared title page from IMDb and any public festival registry logs.Preserve All Evidence: Maintain strict preservation of all raw footage layers, project timelines, text logs, and emails. Any further deletion of production files will be legally processed as willful spoliation of evidence carrying immediate criminal and civil penalties
IV. NOTICE OF FEES AND BANKRUPTCY WARNING
Under the dispute resolution framework of your original paperwork, this action will be settled via a fast-tracked California JAMS Arbitration Process . Because this clause contains a strict Fee-Shifting Rule, the losing party is legally mandated to pay 100% of the winner's corporate attorney fees and arbitrator retainers.Failing to comply with this notice will force our future agency representation to trigger this process, leaving Off Campus Productions and the recipients personally liable for a bankrupting debt of $15,000 to $50,000 in legal fees.
This is your sole and final warning to stand down.

It’s an interesting move. Disney is essentially opening parts of its IP to selected TikTok creators, with some of that content potentially appearing on Disney+ as well. The key detail is “selected creators” it doesn’t appear to be something everyone can freely use.
