- West Jordan, UT, USA • Feb 29, 2024

The business I work for received an email claiming that an image we have on our website was being used without permission. They threatened to sue us if we didn't log into the portal and pay for license and compensation to the image creator. It looked like a scam email and so we ignored it, but they continued to email us. We do have permission for the image, so we replied to the email with that information rather than logging into the portal as they requested (since we know not to click on links in emails).

Text from the email:

REMARK FROM OUR LEGAL PARTNERS IN THE US - APPLYING TO UNITED STATES CLAIMS ONLY

This case will not go away if you ignore it. Rather, it will escalate to litigation in which our partner lawyers may seek either our client’s lost licensing fee plus your profits from the Offending Use(s) (see 17 U.S.C. § 504), or statutory damages in an amount up to $150,000.00 in connection with the infringement at issue, as well as costs and attorney fees, assuming timely registration. Id at § 505. Moreover, 17 U.S.C. §1203(c)(3) permits our client to “recover an award of statutory damages for each violation of Section 1202 in the sum of not less than $2,500 or more than $25,000.” And under the relevant authorities, each copy or reproduction would be a separate violation. Our client will seek such damages through litigation should this matter not be appropriately resolved.

Please carefully consider this letter and the attached evidence and provide them to your insurance carrier and/or your attorneys. We look forward to a prompt response. We reserve the right to take any steps we deem necessary to protect our client’s rights. If we do not receive a response from you by the date stated, we will assume that you are not amenable to resolving this amicably and proceed accordingly.
