Здравейте, получих имейл от CopyTrack по пощата относно снимка, която съм позлвал, а е собственост на компания, която представят. Пускам директно текста от имейла, въпросът ми е - как да процедирам? Изтрих веднага цялата статия, обясних им, че получавам материалите от последователи във Фейсбук (което е наистина така). Какво друго да предприема?

Authorization request / Unauthorized image use - Case no: A5C5BD
Dear The Weekend Concept,
We, COPYTRACK, are writing to you on behalf of our client Image Photo Agency, who has assigned us the monitoring and protection of their licenses and image rights. On June 24, 2025 we have been informed that The Weekend Concept is likely using an image without permission and the client has exclusively commissioned us with the clarification, administration of the image rights for the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany and, if necessary, the enforcement of any copyright infringement through our partner lawyers. Images are protected by copyright law almost worldwide and infringements are actionable under the respective national law. Please see the attachment below for details.
On behalf of our client, we must first determine if you have a valid license to use the images in question in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. If you have a valid license or any other legal justification to use these images, please reply to this email and include proof of license purchase and/or any other necessary information to validate the usage.

Please note that you are obliged to provide the necessary information about the usage of the image to allow our client and us to verify the lawfulness of such usage.

Please respond to this letter no later than July 6, 2025.

If this is not the case, your use of the image material most likely constitutes a copyright infringement within the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. If no settlement can be reached, we as Copytrack are directly instructed to enforce these rights for the territory in the Federal Republic of Germany through our German partner lawyers and, in addition, to instruct our respective partner lawyers in other countries to examine and, if necessary, enforce the infringement of the rights in the respective countries. You could then be legally obligated to compensate our client for the damage caused by this copyright infringement.

Искат ти 350 евро, брат. Не знам дали трябва да се взимат насериозно или няма какво да ти направят, ако не се занимаваш. Откъде въобще те знаят кой си и ще се занимават ли да те съдят за такава сума? Доста се съмнявам. Нека да си каже мнението и някой брат, който е имал подобен случай.
 
премести си го от единия крачол в другия в общи линии..... изобщо не трябва да се притесняваш от каквото и да било! Изобщо не им отговаряй , те не са обявили на снимката с логото си , че снимката е с авторски права! По същата логика в света трябва да има 89809840475734780702438723879 дела за използване на снимки качени в интернет! Освен това ти не оперираш в Германия, а в България с български хостинг и си от Пловдив. Това са едни рекетьори които търсят под вол теле просто. Който се хване на въдицата гори.
 
Така е, според мен не трябва да се прави нищо. Те ще имат много разходи да те издирят, да те намерят, да заведат дело срещу теб и то в друга държава. Въобще няма да направят нищо, но се надяват да те сплашат и да платиш. Със сигурност очаквай второ писмо с по-строг и заплашителен тон. Това, че си им отговорил, ги е обнадеждило.
