Good points, Lettered, I agree with you.
Doing business on the Web these days can be infuriating.

I came across a blog posting about the "Copyright Defense League".
http://www.bitemybooks.com/2012/07/submitted-for-approval-of-midnight.htmlI like this quote (I wish that I had wrote it):
"As a lawyer you should be well aware that a link to my website does not constitute proof that an image is copyrighted nor does it confirm infringement of said image.
A link to my own website is not the information I required from you.
Address my requirements below or we have nothing further to discuss.
Additionally, forward your bar registration number and year admitted so I can perform a more detailed search on the NYSBA website.
A cursory search using your name and location issued no results and your website is lacking such information."The conversation degrades from there:
"Ms. [redacted]:
I have to say that the bullying and demanding tone of your past two emails does not appeal to me (to say the least).
We have all the proof we need (including metadata) and will not cave in to strongarm tactics.
Litigation has not been commenced and thus you have no right to demand anything from us.
You asked me for information, and I provided it as a good faith gesture to facilitate settlement.
If you want to set up a time to negotiate in good faith, and in a tone that is respectful and professional, I would be happy to speak with you and try my best to alleviate your concerns.
If not, I will pass the file on to our litigation department and you can contend with them.
[redacted]"Somebody whom "allegedly works there" even posted. lol
Trust me, this is recommended reading.
