It s important to protect photographers livelihoods

Copyright Infringement is not a comfortable subject but it s important that we protect the work of our photographers and videographers so they get paid for the work that they produce and can therefore continue to do so as we all need and value great content We ve been working with Picrights for several years now and have been really pleased with how they approach potential infringers Often people don t realise that they have infringed an image and Picrights are able to explain how an image has been used and how it can be settled Picrights will try to establish if a license has been obtained and as more and more companies operate in this field with more and more photographers and agencies protecting their collections it is going to become commonplace to receive a request to confirm genuine use of imagery It is certainly not a scam as some reviewers have suggested It s estimated that there are more infringed uses of imagery than licensed and companies like Picrights are helping to ensure that the copyrighted work is protected

This company is a complete and total

This company is a complete and total troll company trying to steal money from people A year ago we paid 250 for the use of a picture and took down all links to the pages although we kept archive copies just in case we needed the information We just got another request for payment for a page that is not accessible from any public page These people are complete and total frauds and they do not honor when they have already been paid for an image

Copyright Law

Picrights is a very shady organisation that make money from scanning the internet for those who have mistakenly used a copyright image This includes not for profit charities and clubs they operate within the law but hound innocent people until they pay Action needs to be taken to stop them doing this But be warned they are operating within the law But you can get no lower than demanding money with threats

Copyright infringement on my pics

This company wrote me for copyright infringement for using my photos of my mission trips When I did research on the company the different lawyer sites say to contact them to help negotiate a settlement for using my pictures from my camera Is this possible That I could have given my rights to have my pics on my website to some unknown entity Quite disconcerting for sure Any helpful thoughts out there in dealing with these guys Thx

Is this legit

this company has demanded money as below it would be easy to accept liability even though I used a design company for my web site but it gives a swiss bank account and a Uk bank account to pay into How do I know this resolves the issue - if indeed it is an issue You were previously notified of your organisation s unlicensed use of The Associated Press s imagery which is displayed at the end of this email Copies of our prior correspondence are viewable at the following links To date the matter has not been fully resolved As you have already been notified unauthorised use of The Associated Press imagery constitutes a copyright infringement under UK copyright law Copyright Design and Patents Act of 1988 Please be aware that copyright infringement can occur regardless of knowledge or intent Being unaware of licence requirements do not change liability Removal of the imagery alone will not satisfy this issue we require a payment of 1494 00 for the unauthorised past-usage of the imagery at issue even after you have removed the imagery The Unless you contact us or remit the payment within 14 days we may withdraw the proposed fee and refer this matter to our outside legal partner to pursue other options To resolve this matter you can visit Sincerely Arthur LAVIECopyright Compliance AgentPicRightsUK Department
