Ever get an email asking you to pay a fine for using a copyrighted image from some big website? Have companies like Copytrack, Pixsy or Picrights threatened you? In this article I will explain why you should be unconcerned about copyright notices on some websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A copyright troll is someone who uses the legal system to extract money from individuals or companies, threatening them with lawsuits for copyright infringement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These copyright trolls often send mass cease and desist letters demanding payment, with no intention of actually litigating the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copyright trolls have been criticized for taking advantage of the legal system and harming the interests of those they target. Some copyright trolls have been successfully sued for their abusive practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The term \u201ccopyright troll\u201d is generally used to describe those who engage in this type of activity, although some copyright holders may send legitimate claims letters seeking to resolve an infringement issue without going to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a number of ways that copyright trolls operate. Some copyright trolls buy copyrights from other companies or individuals, and then use that copyright to send copyright claim letters. Others will file lawsuits against alleged infringers, even if they have no intention of actually pursuing the case in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copyright trolls often target small businesses and individuals who may not have the resources to defend themselves in court. This may result in the resolution of cases that would otherwise be decided in favor of the alleged offender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you've received a letter via email or in your mail from companies like CopyTrack and Picrights, know that there are several forms of defense available to you, and an experienced attorney can help you navigate the legal process. Or rather, it doesn't even have to come to that! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These trolls are relentless. They don't care whether or not you own the image. They will keep harassing you and threatening you. Unfortunately, it all comes down to how much harassment you are willing to take. <\/p>\n\n\n
