lol.
I wish I had saved the letter.

I was in trouble I believe twice with APIC or some group similar to them.

One was a letter from them or some group like them telling me a gallery I had used several images that were property of someone. The someone was a someone other than the someone who gave me the images to promote their pay site. (yes not only tgps have stolen content, many pay sites do also and give it away as free content)

The other time was a sloopy mistake in their part. They wrote me the typical "you have unlicneced pics" letter and which images they had in mind. They said the images belonged to Suze Randall. However the images were not suze randall, and were "fresh photos" images I had a licence for. They had made a mistake and fucked up in sending me, and my webhost this letter since it was not a suze randall pic. I told them they were in fact fresh photos images I had bought for a large chunk of change and had a letter from greg at fresh photos telling em to contact Brad Shaw if there were any problems.

Apic realized the mistake and thanked me for correction. I was however shocked over the trigger happy which hunt tactic they pulled, but luckly it was only a few phone calls and emails out of my way to get it squared up.

All in all, if you work with APIC and explin the situation, or remove the images at hand everything will be fine. Its the people who ignore their shit, or tell them to fuck off that fall into the trouble of getting a site shut down.

Apic doesnt shut sites down over night.
It takes almost a dozen warnings, and non compliances until it resorts to such measures..

So for those of you worried that you will be shut down over night with no warnings you can rest assure. But if you do have illegal pics, its really just a matter of time until you find yourself in the APIC mess so take care of it before it even leads to this shit to avoid the hastle.

And thats the Bottom line cause boneprone said so.
