this might be something that p10 has overlooked in their zealous desire to nail google and affilaites.
so while he can file the DMCA notice, it is you (the affiliate) responsibility to be able to PROVE that you had the rights to use those images.. you could probably provide this evidence to google directly w/o an attorney to give them something to think about.

Too bad english is not my native language but i understand the story for 90%. In my constant try to protect my business and site i try to communicate closely with all the partners who run on my site. I'm lucky i'm kinda big and people respect me for the work i do. I'm always trying to anticipate on claims, also in respect with the 2257 regulation (which is another story). My message to all of you : try to communicate with the partners on your site. It's alot of work but after all it pays off on the long term and by doing this you can easily focus on your job running a safe site. When something happens you can always fall back to the partner himself and see what can be done about it. The story of what happened here is really amazing and crazy (by P10) but it shows alot of what's goin on in the industry. Anyway, this thread made me realise this board is very interesting. Good job to everybody and hope you succeed in your fights (and goals).
