Hello Everyone
I just got hit with a lawsuit from Tylor and HAN.
I had no idea we even used the image and traced it back to a hard disk in the office and that found that it was downloaded from one of the 150 or so free wallpaper sites and used by one of our students. I explained this to then lawyer, took the students web site down the minute I got the letter, but he still wants over 4000 USD. The site made no profit as he claims and we never of course took trade mark images off the picture which he accuses me of as well.. It took quite a bit of digging but I found where it came from. Yes a free download wallpaper site.
As soon as I get a chance I will give more info and hopefully find a way to get everyone together to counter this. I am looking for an attorney who will go after this and willing to pay for the depositions and get all HAN records to see if this is a scam etc now or legitimate.
The attorney in my case apparently has a good reputation in town so I am surprised he attaches his name to this. As I have a feeling it will get very nasty as I smell a really stinky fish here.
Any advice ?
