ImageProtect.com is now another copyright troll except they are right in my back yard - located in San Clemente. Same approach as the Getty Extortion Letter only now I am much more educated. The image (retro women with tattoo) they say they own the copyright to was found in the public domain on several web sites, including one where the poster encouraged people to use the html code to reproduce the image! On all of these web sites with said image, there is no reference to copyright, ownership or the "client" ImpageProtect represents, PBNJ Productions. If it is in the public domain, can the copyright be enforced?
I took the image down, forgot it was even there, posted in 2009. Responded with the standard response. Also said, unless they return requested "proof" I would consider the matter closed. Of course, they responded with a standard form response. I will not respond back.
