Getty Images Letter Forum / Re: New for 2013 ~ The Copyright Troll Asshat of the Month Award...

« on: February 02, 2013, 12:32:15 PM »

The letter (draft) that my attorney has written is a killer, with many good points and arguments.  Should me on the asshat's desk by now.  He throws a few good jabs into Mustoe's face....and then the knockout!!!!! I'll share this letter in the future once we know he's lying on the mat.  I'm sure some of the "talking points" in this letter can be used in other defenses concerning "copywrite" protocals.

"Mr Tomerelli is done making offers to you so this is your last opportunity to resolve this short of filing suit."

......Very professional and a good grasp of the English language.

BuddhaPi,
I just love your perspectives and rants on ELI.  You give us all hope and help make dealing with these Extortionistic "Asshats" somewhat bearable.  The world needs more BuddhaPi's!

Here is an interesting excerpt from the Dakotah, Inc. v. Tomelleri, 1998 DSD  Shows fish artist Tomelleri  was doing this 15 years ago and continues it today:

"Tomelleri not only threatened litigation in the District of Kansas, but implied that Dakotah and others, including retailers of Dakotah products and perhaps George White (then president of Dakotah) personally were subject to criminal prosecutions if they did not comply with Tomelleri's demands."

"CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS"....WHAT AN A$$HOLE

mdc, My letter is an exact duplicate of yours....Mustoe probably sends hundreds of them out with invoices attached.  The "scared sheep" and misinformed are the ones that open their check books, filling extortion troll Mustoes pockets.  It's a real shame and total outrage!

Good to meet you Cranky Fish.....I too...Like you and "mdc" got the same letter.  This started back in the spring of 2012.  I have a fishing site and posted a "species"  tertiary web page (educational content only) on my site.  Mustoe is now bugging both me and my associate guide concerning 14 images that I got off a CD and a few government sites.  The copywritten images that were posted were unintentional but that means nothing in this game. I have not responded to Mustoe!  We all should ban together on this...this is extortion at it's ugliest.  I have a family member who is one of Apple's top patent attorneys and I will seek his council this week.  I'm going to fight this....please join me!

Appreciate this sight as I'm sure many do.  I will contribute funds in support of this sight in the near future.  Gives us peace of mind and much valued info.

I just received the same letter.  Images were used from a CD that was purchased online.  Had no idea they  involved copyright.  My patent/copyright attorney will be contacting this Mustoe character next week....stay tuned!
