Spoke to another meet up group
« on: May 23, 2013, 01:23:27 PM »
Last night I spoke to another Meet Up Group about my personal Getty Image experience. I also shared some of the other stories I have leaned on this site.

One person asked, "Wait. So are you saying these stock image companies won't just send you a DMCA take down notice?" Ha! Ahhh the innocence on naivete. I spent some time explaining that they don't and why. We also went over some of the things developers can do to protect themselves.

Anyway, here is my slide deck: http://slid.es/jerrywitt/avoiding-the-trolls

This time the audience was about 20 or 30 web developers and designers and most hadn't heard about the Extortion Letter scheme. You can see pictures from this group meet up at:

Although I may be a super-genius, I am not a lawyer. So take my scribblings for what they are worth and get a real lawyer for real legal advice. But if you want media and design advice, please visit Motion City at http://motioncity.com.

That is awesome Jerry!  Thank you for what you do to help spread the word about the trolls and their schemes.
Every situation is unique, any advice or opinions I offer are given for your consideration only. You must decide what is best for you and your particular situation. I am not a lawyer and do not offer legal advice.
