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

« on: January 11, 2013, 04:35:28 PM »

Introducing our very first Asshat of the Month!... A distinguished award that will be bestowed upon only those deserving of such a stellar award..not only nice to look at, but also printable, in case anyone would like to personally drop one in the mail to their favorite asshat/troll!!

The first award of the year goes to Copyright Troll and Attorney Steven Mustoe!

Steven Mustoe is deserving of this award for several reasons.

• We've only known about "Camel Toe Mustoe" for a little more than 1 month, yet we already have 3 or 4 letters from him... a true asshat
• His letters just have that "personal" touch.....NOT
• Obviously law school does not administer grammar tests...granted my grammar blows, but i'm not an attorney!

Feel free to leave a comment on our first asshat of the month award over at copyright-trolls.com

"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.

@Whiteoak, it's hard to be professional and use proper English with one's head buried in ones ass...just sayin...Steven Mustoe also has a way with treating people with respect..

Great post by Lucia!, thanx for chipping in!, I'll also add to look thru the forums, you will find many examples of what to do, versus what not to do, as well as how others have approached this. Ultimately you'd like to shut them down in one shot, but this may not happen and you may get more letters and you might even be "special" enough to get one from Timothy McCormack, Getty's outside "counsel" ( I use this term very loosely)....again don't panic, and be prepared to possibly deal with this for the next 3 years ( statute of limitations).. If you feel you don't have it in you to last 3 years, the letter program is a good option as well.

Thanks Lucia !!  Wow, I actually feel mobilized versus frozen.  OK I'll sift through your questions and gather info and report back early next week.  OMG, Thank you SO much!!

Just in case any of you have forgotten or have not seen this document that was removed from ELI's scribd library, thanks to Randy Taylor or someone at Copyright Defense League issuing a bogus take down notice, I have conveniently uploaded the doc for all to see and review..

My bet is that they are on their way toward milking hundreds of dollars from her while -negotiating- with Getty.

Sometimes you just can't save people from themselves.

hahah Timothy B. McCormack the "Copyright Cow" milking someone...is this an oxymoron?? or just plain old "moron"??

We always redact the company name of the letter recipients as a rule of thumb, the author of this article learned of this thru ELI..Don't worry if Masterfile were to file suit, I would see it in Pacer and it would quickly become public knowledge at that point.

If they had done ANY research at all, like all of 5 minutes or so, they would know that Getty Images does not file lawsuits.. Furthermore you would think their "attorney" would be smart enough to at least look in pacer and see this..

I really got a kick out of this:
We feel the need to be careful with sensitive data as you have not been fully vetted.   How do I really know if I'm speaking with the right person? 

So no.  We aren't going to put 100% of our company's information out there - especially without a written and signed agreement that you wouldn't share it with anyone. 

sensitive data??? fully vetted?? this is hilarious, you'd think we were talking about top secret government documents for christs sake!

I bet the "sensitive data" contains sales history and money the site made supplied to McCormack, because he asked for it, and arc collections lawyer was dumb enough to give it to him...

"We aren't going to put 100% of our company's information out there"

since I have nothing better to do at the moment:

I believe we have had EVERY SINGLE DOCUMENT restored in the past.. Randy Taylor and Copyright Defense League will be getting some extra attention for this bogus takedown notice.

As of October 30, though, the $57,030 claim against the unnamed company was still unresolved. Pigeon declined to provide any details.

hehe, yeah because his company just took a royal ass beating, which may be a complete game changer in the future...Steve Pigeon is probably really regretting that the sale of his company fell thru at this point... I’m confident it’s only a matter of time, before these copyright trolls start to appear in the mainstream media much like the p2p trolls... Masterfiles’ Steve Pigeon and Getty Images’ Jonathan Klein are naturals to associate with the porn industry trolls, after all they are screwing people on a daily basis.

Getty Images Letter Forum / Steve Pigeons ass puckers after Chaga International loss

« on: January 09, 2013, 07:50:20 PM »

“We’ve taken plenty of these claims to court, and the outcome has generally been favorable to us,” Pigeon says. “We go after three times standard fee for the use. That’s to get them to talk. We want to get a reasonable fee. We don’t like to settle for less than list price. We don’t want to reward people for stealing.”

I wonder why Pigeon fails to mention Chaga International, we all know who well that worked out for Masterfile..not only was the method in which MasterFAIL registered the images held invalid, it was also a 6 million dollar case!! and who was the attorney working that case, none other than ELI’s own Oscar Michelen, whose name was NEVER mentioned in this entire article.. I suppose he’s just one of us “mob” types, posting misinformation..
