I have reserved all rights in the Work, which was first published in 2006 on Flickr.com and I have registered the copyright. You have also made use of similar works of mine published at the same site. Your work entitled Top Ten Pictures of the Day and which appears on your web site at http://toptenpictures.blogspot.com/2007/05/dont-go-jumping-waterfalls.html, is essentially identical to the Work and clearly used the Work as its basis. You neither asked for nor received permission to use the Work as the basis for Top Ten Pictures of the Day nor to make or distribute copies of it. Therefore, I believe you have willfully infringed my rights under 17 USC Section 101, et seq. and could be liable for statutory damages as high as $100,000. I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing works derived from the Work, and all copies of it, and that you deliver to me all unused, undistributed copies of it, or destroy such copies immediately, and that you desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future. If I have not received an affirmative response from you by close of business (5 pm Pacific Standard Time) on 5/2/09 now indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements, I shall consider taking the full legal remedies available to rectify this situation. <br /><br />It is disturbing to see a “donations link” entitled “help support photographers”. I wonder what that is for. I know I haven’t received any of that “support”.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Brian KnottBrian Knotthttp://www.fmkphoto.comnoreply@blogger.com
