A Clear Message

Matthew Chan:
I disagree with you.  I think if you take protective measures and document what you purchase, where you purchased, and how, most companies will be "reasonable" and you should be safe from any lawsuit.  Nevertheless, having gone what I have gone through, I prefer to hire someone to create my images and take my own photos nowadays.  Or I will go directly to a company to ask permission for their photos.  Obviously, Getty has not won any goodwill from me and so I will practically go anywhere except them to do business.

Admin,

This guy, Mr. Riddick, is he for real? I mean its clear enough that the clipart in question was off of clipart.com, and I sent that to him..who can say who owns the copyright between riddick, or clipart.com?

Matthew Chan:
If you would like to show me, submit the email to submitinfo@extortionletterinfo.com.  It can be added to the other stacks of outrageous emails he has sent to others.

BartPerry:
I JUST sent you an email, I removed my name, company name etc.

BartPerry:
I sent you another, but I don;t think you want to see the email I sent to him a moment ago. I was not so nice. I was told to send him an email stating to send all matters legally through the USPS certified mail, so we could turn it over to the local fbi.

If he thinks I am going to roll over, and play dead.........LOL, boy did he hit a roadblock with me. I have never been one to take anything when we KNOW what we purchased, we back up everything. all clipart site memberships, terms of use, cd's, all of it. Heck, I have emails from 6 years ago still on backup cd's.
