Caution to Robert Blaque (Secret Secret)
Caution
All we relating to the Gothic and the Industrial music scenes in Japan, are to protest against the numerous acts of sabotages toward us and the unauthorized use of our organization name by Robert Blaque, besides our making strong appeal to the people who loves the gothic and the industrial music and culture in the world for to inform the truth.
Robert Blaque; Secret Secret, has done a lot of extremely dishonest things again and again to us such as unauthorized use of the name of "Tokyo Dark Castle", the domain name registration using the name of two event in Japan; "kobeundergroundfestival.com" and "tokyodarkcastle.com" without any permission of the right holders, besides diversion of our programs without notice and violation of our right of publicity, etc... Though we have alerted Robert Blaque to quit those sabotage toward our activities, he ignored everything and it was so disingenuous of him to produce an event titled Tokyo Dark Castle in San Francisco which non of the concerned parties in Japan done anything with. And we also protest in unison against that Robert Blaque gave a false impression to the world that Robert Blaque was a member of Tokyo Dark Castle and Kobe Underground Festival to throw all the concerned people in Japan into chaos.
Hence we are to announce that we won't have any relationship to him from now on and we strongly restrict his visiting to and performing at any of the gothic events in Japan. Our announcement is to be brought out to all the Gothic/Industrial scenes of the world through the Internet and mass communication media.
Regarding the issue of unauthorized use of "Tokyo Dark Castle":
The name of "Tokyo Dark Castle" which occupied by Robert Blaque at the moment is belonging to Mr.Genet(Auto-Mod).The unauthorized use of "Tokyo Dark Castle" and demanding money and goods from unspecified majority are fraud charge of the criminal law section 246 number 1.
Regarding the issue of domain name registration:
"kobeundergroundfestival.com" and "tokyodarkcastle.com" are belongings of "aci" and "Genet" . Hence it is illegal of Robert Blaque's hosting the website using the domain names of these. And what is more all the programs Robert Black uses on the "kobeundergroundfestival.com" are the diversions from the official site; "www.cavestudio.org/kuf/" without any permissions. Robert Blaque's diversions apparently violate copyright laws section 48.
