Might as well add Matt Miller, Recovery Specialist at NCP IP Solutions.

I hope it's safe to assume you responded to NCS properly to make them go away for good?

My wife just received an extortion letter from Craig B. Sanders of Sanders Law, PLLC representing the National Photo Group, LLC regarding an image on her fashion blog.  Didn't see them on the list so I figure they are new to the party.

Looks like we have a few days of research ahead of us.

Lets all give paralegal Kate Riley from the office of Seattle attorney Timothy B. McCormack, and nice welcome, as she's now been added to the ever growing list of scum-bag copyright trolls...

Welcome to the newest Getty Copyright Compliance Specialist Sam Brown.  I found him while going through the latest set of Attorney General complaints filed against Getty Images and McCormack IP Law.

Is there a running list of safe companies?
Is 123rf safe?

I don't know about them, I use Pond5 for all of my stock images.  They are as low as a dollar and good quality.  No expatriation on them either (at least the ones I have purchased).

Thanks Greg. I knew one of them had the word pond in it.

I was sure there was a thread that had a list of "safe" image companies, but am having brain fart and can't find it.
