Hi there,
I recently received a Pixsy demand letter asking for $750 for use of a photographers image in a blog post on my site. The author of the blog post grabbed the photo from flicker but forgot to attribute the photographer correctly, which is required under the creative commons (CC 2.0) license, which the photo was listed as.
I followed what was suggested on other Pixsy related posts here on ELI.
I responded with a "thank you" for the notification and I notified them of my actions (removed image, account holder (author of blog post) has been notified of the claim).
However, I have not registered a designated DMCA agent in an online filing with the US Copyright Office and Pixsy have pointed this out.
Pixsy said that they if I can show them that I had a registered agent at the time of the infringement then they would drop the case.
If I register now is it too late? is there any other way to have the DMCA safe harbor provisions?
Any input would be appreciated.
Cheers
