Title: Just received a Riddick letter
Post by: stevep on December 13, 2009, 07:26:51 AM
I had the honor of receiving a Riddick letter this week. He wants the name of our attorney and says "Whether you knew you were infringing when you first used unauthorized copyright-registered and protected works belonging exclusively to Imageline, Inc. or not, you are liable for copyright infringement under the laws of the United States and Canada."

New to us. We have never heard of him before this, and he doesn't even indicate what images are alleged to be his.

I also see that he has filed several federal lawsuits against companies selling his images. We don't sell images.

Anyone else received such a letter recently?

Hey Steve:

Yes, many folks out there have received this new Riddick letter. I currently represent three business sued by Imageline in litigation apparently funded by the SIAA that's named in Riddick's letter.  Riddick owns copyright to clip art apparently.  Since he likely regularly monitors this site, I won't say much more.  You can reach me at my email address for more info: xxx
