Caught using art?

 

Just because the image is online doesn't make it free to use or profit from.

LOOK UP CURRENT COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AT THE US COPYRIGHT OFFICE

Remember, if you don't find a copyright holder, that does not mean the image is not protected by Federal Copyright Laws

Artisans do have a voice!

It's no longer a world where we have no options to deter infringements.

"Let you voice be heard when someone infringes upon your copyright."

EBAY

YES, ebay does have phone numbers these are the current ones, however ebay is known for disconnecting numbers frequently and starting up new number:

eBay Corporate Offices

Powerseller Phone Number, someone always answers this one, just ask them to transfer you to the department you want to talk to, or ask them for that phone number.   Powerseller Silver #  1-866-515-3229

I have called the first two numbers and verified that they work.  They
will allow you to contact eBay's Customer Support department during
business hours.  Please note that if you hit the option for "Safe
Harbor inquiries" that appears on one of the voice menus, you will
receive a message simply telling you that all claim-related matters
need to be submitted via email.  As such, you will probably want to
select the general option in order to speak with an actual customer
service representative.  Alternately, selecting the Operator option
from the top menu may put you in touch with someone who can transfer
you to the Safe Harbor department.

FBI Internet Fraud & Complaint Form @ ic3.gov/complaint

Did someone rip you off on ebay or online and no one seems to listen?
This agency does!  Report your cyber crime to them.  They send people to prison, a lot of them!

***************************************************************

China isn't listening...this Judge is!

Zhipei  Jiang, Supreme People's Court, China
Email this Judge, he's serious about Copyright Infringement in China

***************************************************************

Think you can't afford to sue, oh yes you can!

Did someone take you copyright protected material?
Find out what county they are from and find their circuit clerk's web site.
Download the forms for filing a civil lawsuit. Fill that out and send a copy to your seller along with a note.
You can put "pro-se" under plaintiff attorney or you can look in the phone book and pick out the law firm
with the biggest yellow pages ad and borrow their name. Pro-se means you are representing yourself,
and in the US you have that right.  A big law firm's name isn't necessary to win.

You address the thief, in a signature conformation of delivery, that you are sending a copy of

this lawsuit against their actions.  As a courtesy, give them 30 days to respond or you will file
the papers through the court. and if they do not respond with the answer to your terms
file the paperwork and represent yourself. People do it everyday and win their judgments.

Point out the fact that they will have to pay a fee (find out what it really is) to file their response to your suit.

If they ignore your lawsuit, you will automatically get a default judgment, therefore winning the case. 
You can collect by garnishing their wages or putting a lien on their home, property, etc.
Or if it's a con artist that hooked you into a contract and didn't pay royalties, you can get that contract declared
null and void and have the judge also award you back full rights to your works and order that the con artist
cease and desist using your art for profit.

You have to convince them that you will do all this.

It will probably get a good response from the defendant, and they will want to settle.
