« on: September 27, 2017, 05:13:00 AM »
I was contacted by Copytrack and I am in the same situation. I used a photograph of a band I found on their facebook page on an article and credited the author, both in the article and in the link of the photograph. Apparently, this wasn't not enough, and I was hit with the email to buy the photo. I contacted the photographer directly, she said she can't get involved in this issue anymore, as it is out of her hands.

I run a blog that generates no income, and it's not a legally constituted company. It isn't even registered anywhere.... it is just a digital blog. I am currently unemployed and have no assets under my name they can come after, so I have no means of paying the €400 they ask. The blog is hosted in Portugal. I replied saying I sourced the photograph, they didn't care. So I emailed back stating my current situation and I'm still waiting for a reply.

Is a lawsuit likely to happen in this scenario? How did other situations evolve?

Any updates about your case?

Hi everyone,
found this thread by search engines. I have the same problem. Today I got the same kind of email from Copytrack and they asked for 1300 Euros for an image on a website that I forgot about, it's an image of a muffin on a muffin gallery site. I didn't steal the image but used an automated WordPress plugin to fetch the free images of muffins I thought and this was like 4 years ago, the plugin schedule and post content of a given keyword automatically. I didn't add that image by myself. I have deleted all the images on my website.
Any advice about how I should proceed this? Should I reply to their threat email? They want an answer latest 19th Septemeber they say in that email.

Thanks in advance!
