Picture This: “Photo Image” Copyright Trolls?
« on: January 14, 2013, 08:25:58 PM »
Got an email from this Texas attorney yesterday via copyright-trolls.com, I responded by directing him to ELI, which apparently he just heard of thru fightcopyrighttrolls.com. He did not waste any time writing an article..

ur firm has been working in a bubble for over two years now, focusing exclusively on copyright infringement lawsuits as they relate to accusations of piracy through the use of bittorrent (“torrent”) peer-to-peer programs over the internet.

However, it has been brought to my attention that our “copyright troll” problem is bigger than just bittorrent.  People even today are receiving DMCA threat letters for the so-called infringement of other things, such as the unauthorized use of pictures, articles, poems, you name it — even works that are not copyrighted at all.

Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

I certainly agree that the actions of the trolls aren't "sexy".
