Geez, Sheenah, that really sucks! You take your pictures with a digital
camera, right? If not, then you have the negative to prove it. Otherwise,
you could send them the original large version straight off the camera, if
you still have it. If not, try sending them many pictures of Thalia, and
maybe some of you holding her. This is really ridiculous, I can't believe
they are doing this. I would demand an apology and maybe some kind of
compensation like a free year of their premier service, or free prints of
all your pic's or something.

Hi all,

I'm writing this while feeling very angry . The reason why will soon

become clear.

As you know, I'm very keen on photographing my cats and have posted many

of their pics on the
Internet. One site I use is Webshots. I know that when I post there I

can only post photos that I
have taken. If I did otherwise, I would infringe American copyright law

and if Webshots found out
about it, they would remove any pic that was not mine.

Today, I received from Webshots, an email telling me that they had removed

one of my pics of Thalia
because by posting it, I *had* infringed copyright law I should be

honoured that someone thinks
one of my photos good enough to want to claim as their own work but I'm

not. I'm absolutely furious.
And if they're selling that photo, I'll be more than that.

Whatsmore, Webshots have told me that if I breach copyright law *again*,

they'll consider removing
all my albums from their site

Webshots has told me that I can try to prove to them my innocence. I hope

that all the info I can
send them will be enough to satisfy them. If it does, I hope they'll

secure on my behalf redress
from the person (I really want to say b*** **d) who has told them that my

pic is theirs.. If
Webshots aren't willing to do this, I don't know what, if anything I can

do. Should this situation
arise, would any one of you be able and willing to offer me advice on what

, if anything, I can do.

Many thanks for reading.

Love to you all.

Sheenah.
