Beware! Corbis Demand Letter Now Prevalent !
« on: February 14, 2010, 11:40:11 AM »
So digital image giant Corbis, owned by Bill Gates, has entered the infringement arena in a big way. We have been contacted by several businesses who have received strong demand letters from Corbis' attorney, Jefferey Loop of NYC white-shoe firm Carter, Ledyard. In typical Microsoft fashion, Mr. Gates has decided to use a machine gun to swat a fly. The demands are around $4-$6K per image and they give a very short leash or threaten litigation. I will keep you posted as our case progresses.

Interesting ... hired in Jan ... presumably just for this.  Didn't waste much time putting him out there "earning" did they?  Glad I don't use image companies anymore.
