Just received an email from Matthew Higbee. Is this normal for them? I haven’t read anywhere that Matthew Higbee takes the time to email people. Not sure what to think of it. Thoughts anyone?

Yes, it seems unusual that Mr. Higbee himself would email anyone directly on a lower level matter. I have not heard that. I mostly hear it is his subordinate clerks/paralegals or perhaps one of his associate lawyers that contact people. What did he email you?

Hi Matthew. Mr. Higbee sent the following:
Pastor Spaulding-
Your understanding of the Fair Use Doctrine and DMCA protections are misguided. Do you have an attorney in your congregation that can assist you with this matter?
Or perhaps I an suggest some references as to what is covered by fair use:
https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-use/
I will be glad to present a reasonable offer to my client. However, I cannot go back to them and ask them to close the claim based on faulty fair use arguments. You used their work without a license and they deserve to be compensated. I would be glad to discuss this with you on the phone if you like.
Best regards,

my guess is " I will be glad to present a reasonable offer to my client." won't be anything close to "reasonable"...it's all about the money... I strongly suggest you read the latest blog post that was recently posted by Levy on the Higbee issues..before doing anything else, or communicating with them.

A pastor of a church accused. That is an interesting twist.
