Legal Controversies Forum / CANIPRE Extortion Letters
« on: October 31, 2016, 09:04:32 PM »
This will sound familiar to some.
This company "CANIPRE" send out demand letters claiming that they are entitled to $5,000.00 but then settle for less.

Here is the article:  http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/notice-and-notice-system-internet-copyright-enforcement-settlement-1.3823986

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but I thought this was interesting.

The CBC is a national TV channel here in Canada similar to NBC, CBS, Fox.  Most cities have a local affiliate. Basically, they obtained permission from Leuthold to use some of her 9/11 photos in a special broadcast that they were going to air. The agreement was for one broadcast, but the CBC ended up broadcasting it several times during several years. Leuthold then sued them for over $21 million dollars for copyright infringement. Although she did win in court, she was only awarded less than $20,000.00 dollars. Very long read, but very interesting.

Getty Images Letter Forum / Thank You
« on: January 18, 2012, 12:09:27 AM »
I just want to thank everyone participating in this group. Had I not found this site, I would have paid Getty the exorbitant amount they requested for one image. 

I received an "extortion" letter from Getty summer 2011. I took down the offending photo right away. I found it funny that they still wanted me to pay them anything. Needless to say, I thought it was a scam and Googled Getty fraud right away. Thankfully I found this site. After "trolling" for a few months I gained insight on the situation. I'm not a lawyer, so I contacted Oscar who responded to Getty on my behalf. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

So I would like to thank Oscar, Matthew, and everyone else who posts on this website. THANK YOU.
