anyway... they sent a C&D saying to take them down, etc, etc. the odd thing is, the C&D also said that "this is not the end" .... making veiled threats.
now, the company wants $900,000 in damages for "ongoing copyright infringement" for 20 pictures that werent even being used.... even AFTER my bud complied with the C&D...
obviously he's calling a lawyer, but if he complied with a C&D, how can they sue him? also, $900k for 20 images? thats more than the whole site is worth.
as for who.. well... Titan Media... if anyone knows them, they used to be a big dog in the dvd/movie biz, but now they make their money suing people for bullshit like this...
anyone dealt with them?

Technically, they can ask for $100,000 per image per infraction, so you're getting off easy, it looks like they took the middle road.
