Thats good to hear, but why is it that you can't even post an opinion?

Here is their reply

I understand you have been posting on ELI and you have raised the issue of copyright registration. Please note that under the Copyright Act of Canada, registering images is not a prerequisite to initiating an action for copyright infrigement in Canada and US Copyright registrations have no bearing on this case.

 !!!!!!!!!!THIS POST IS CONFIDENTIAL AND IS INTENDED FOR ROBERT       KRAUSANKAS ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess MF Keeps tabs on the posts of this website because not long after i posted last, i received an email from MF answering some of my previously asked questions to ELI.

Also, in your opinion, you advised me not to contact MF, so then, how would i find out about their documents on this alledged copyright infrigement?

So, if i read the court case correctly, (chaga international), i am assuming the defendant had their case dismissed because masterfile had a compilation of artists registered and the defendant didnt use all of the compilations, thats why it was dismissed? Or am i confused?

While in the US copyright website and after finding these references to the photographer, is there anyway to download or find out which photos have been registered under the reference #'s? ie VA 0001234567?

I have been doing some research of the "aledged" copyrighted photo and i could not find anything under Canada. Searching further i discovered MF had copyrighted several of this photographer's work in the USA, along with many other works from other artists. Does that mean that MF has no case of copyright infridgement against me in Canada?
Thanx

Ok, i won't contact them any further, but they gave me to the 24th of March before they said they will take legal action, so i guess i will wait till they contact me.
Thanx for the advice and i will do more reading on ELI

I currently have a website in the frozen food service, which had been up since 2008. A photo was used that was "rights managed" inadvertantly. I received a registered email from MF asking for $4800 (plus taxes) in damages for the past 4 years and to remove the photo from the website. I removed the photo after finding out it was not a spam email by contacting them and talking with the MF representative. She dropped the damages to $2800, which i thought was still excessive, so i hired a lawyer to handle my negotiations. After he contacted MF he told me they were offering 3 options. The lowest one was was $2000 plus taxes, which i thought was still excessive. My lawyer encouraged me to settle, which i had objection to, so i terminated his services and found the ELI forum. I think i did the right thing. Now that i am on my own, i need some advice, whether or not to settle.
First, after reading some posts in ELI i was considering on writing an email to ask for documented proof of "damages".
What should i do next? Thank you for your support.
