Warning - Unauthorized Use of Image !!!

[ScarH]

Don't know the site well but it does sound a bit like a scam .

You can simply delete the image then request proof of where the image is as if they can't present any proof you win case or just don't reply back to emails and they will probably get bored then leave you alone

It is not a scam. It is a real provider.

just removed the image.

I think they can find it on waybackmachine, can they?!

IT depends if they kept a record or not on the site but I think you can contact Waybackmachine and request they delete the page or post which shows the image as well.

My personal strategy:

"Wow! Thank you so much for alerting me! It seems my site might have been hacked! I have deleted the image. Take care!"

Delete, block, hope for the best.

Copytrack is not a scam.

They are douchebags but they are legit.

Anyone can sign up to them and upload their images and their crawlers will do the rest.

It's a great way to make money if you're a photographer.

I dealt with them... They don't stop.

After ignoring them for months I eventually paid the fee.

Idk where you live, but if you live in Europe like me, they send debt collectors here...

Unless you have a license for the images or can claim fair use, you have no leg to stand on.

Im not from EU but i travel a lot to EU countries. Im not sure if they can find my name and real address (probably they cant) because if they do i will have to pay as they wont let me in EU!

Ill skip them for now!
Fuck it

In your case, I would ignore them as well.

If they would have asked $100 I would have paid immediately without questioning it!
But $400 ?!! WTF

The site doesn't make $400 in a year lol

just an email threatening company, demanding money on a new level , just ignore as everyone said

The photographer sets the prices I believe. (I think the split is 60/40)

I was fortunate enough that mine was only 180 euros. The photographer was some professional that lives 30 minutes away from me lol. (he even looked me up on LinkedIn)

I used the pic for a high-ticket affiliate site where each sale is nearly 300 euros so I wasn't too upset by the setback.

You can negotiate the price but since they most likely have no idea who you are, you shouldn't reply at all.

Hey guys

I just received an email from copytrack. com

Issue: Warning - Unauthorized Use of Image


They are asking Post-license fee and compensation cost, a total of $1,000.

I have bought that blog a long time ago and I didn't even post those images.

Anyone else had any experience like this before?
These guys seem to be so dead serious lol

Can you update us on this? What did you do and what happened eventually? Because I have just received one such email today from them. Thank you so much.

Thank you for the update.

Best thing you can do is:

Delete, Change the URL of that specific article and Ignore.
Never reply them back. Never.

Hey, i got similar problem here.. Unfortunately, they seems like scanning my poor website and found another one from my old posts. So i got 4 warnings in a month. Lol!
What make surprised me, they seemed to save the suspected pages in the Wayback Machine.

Do you ask removal on Wayback Machine or just let it go?

How many reminders / how long until they gave up?

PS: I removed all the suspected images.

This happened long time ago and don't remember many details.

I just ignored them and they stopped emailing me. Simple as that
