"Make sure you let them know that you will make this process as annoying and as painful and as difficult as possible for them."

Something I've been saying all along.

When you start requiring proof of registration, agreements with photographers, and pricing history, a copyright-troll attorney working on commission is going to be less interested in chasing you and more interested in other low-hanging fruit.

By the way, I love ted.com.

Unfortunately not to be so in my case. McCormack is my favorite ass-hat.
