Higbee Associates Letter & Lawsuits Forum / Re: Nicholas Youngson Photographer (Rep. by Higbee Associates) Copyright Abuse
« on: April 18, 2017, 02:20:14 PM »
I am dealing with one of these letters and am trying to see if I can get them to agree to something minimal to resolve.  I can tell you this, though; if I can't resolve it I intend to sue Higbee and Youngson in state court in Massachusetts for abuse of process, copyright abuse, and violation of the consumer protection law MGL ch 93A.  93A comes with very stiff penalties, including 3x damages and payment of atty's fees. It seems very clear to me from reviewing these posts and the manner in which people are duped into using what they think is a free image and then get faced with constant harassment and extortionate demands.

If anyone else is planning to take any legal action, I would appreciate knowing.  Also, I would appreciate knowing the data that NYcopyrightabuse has found from their survey if they would share it with the group.
