【IMPORTANT STATEMENT】Unauthorized Republication of the Former Okinawa Karate Information Center Website
Unauthorized Republication of the Former Okinawa Karate Information Center Website
The former website of the Okinawa Karate Information Center, which was officially discontinued by our organization approximately two years ago, has recently been republished without our authorization and is currently accessible online outside our control.
Note: To prevent further traffic to the unauthorized website, we will not disclose its domain name.
We have confirmed that all data on the former server had been completely deleted. Therefore, the website currently appearing online is not simply an old website that has remained accessible on the original server.
It is possible that the currently published website was reconstructed using historical data collected from internet archives, such as the Wayback Machine.
Our organization takes the following issues extremely seriously.
■ Copyright Infringement
The unauthorized reproduction and publication of photographs, written content, and other materials for which our organization holds the copyrights generally constitute violations of copyright law.
Obtaining a domain name or accessing materials through internet archive services does not grant anyone the right to freely reproduce, publish, or otherwise use our copyrighted works.
■ Impersonation of Our Official Website
The unauthorized website uses our organization's name, logo, and former website design, creating the misleading impression that it remains an official website operated by our organization.
This is a serious matter that may cause confusion and misunderstanding among visitors, affiliated organizations, and other concerned parties.
■ Risks Concerning Personal Information
We have not been able to verify the identity of the administrator of the unauthorized website or determine where information submitted through its contact forms is being sent.
We strongly urge everyone NOT to submit inquiries or enter any personal information through the unauthorized website under any circumstances.
■ Strict Measures and Legal Action
Our organization has not authorized or approved the republication of the former website in any way.
We are currently investigating the identity of the website operator and the circumstances surrounding its republication.
If copyright infringement or other unlawful activities are confirmed, we will take strict and appropriate action, including demanding the suspension of the website's operation and the removal of the unauthorized content.
We will not tolerate any unauthorized use of our copyrighted materials, organizational name, or reputation.
