Borrowing images can be costly
Over the last few month, we have had 2 clients that have received threats of either legal action, or simply invoices regarding supposed image and trade mark violations.
Be warned, there is software available that will simply trawl the net, looking for both copyright, image and trademark violations. It wouldn’t surprise me if these companies were on some kind of commission!
So, the days of the Internet being the perfect place to “borrow” images and to use trade names without permission are over.
Has anyone else out there had a similar experience?
