AKM Images is using Copyright Enforcement Group to send out extortion letters. Until recently, we have never heard of AKM Images (celebrity photos) or Copyright Enforcement Group.

Here is a copy of the Copyright Enforcement Group extortion letter sent on behalf of AKM Images who appear to specialize in celebrity photos.

I have to admit that this is slightly tamer the most demand letters I've seen. I also have not seen settlement prices as "low" as $500 per image. It's still unreasonably high at $500 per image but compared to Getty, Masterfile, and HAN, it is much more attractive. I would guess that Copyright Enforcement Group will go a bit lower if motivated to do so.
