Copyright Infringement?

[DarrenToogood]

Hello there,

I recieved an email today, stating that I am in breach in Copyright laws, due to my website www.brightwightimages.com. I got an email from the developers of FlashDen, stating the following:

Dear Sir/Madam,

FLASHDEN PTY. LIMITED [ACN 119 159 741], having offices at 2 Henry St, Ashfield, NSW 2131, Australia ("FlashDen") is contacting you regarding your infringement of the copyright associated with the content of the website: www.flashden.net ("site").

It has come to our attention, that your site, http://brightwightimages.com , is distributing copyrighted digital files ("assets") from the site. The original FlashDen source link for the known violating case is: http://flashden.net/item/md-gallery/5059

I am a little confused to how I am selling FlashDen products? I am only clearly displaying/selling my own photographic images. Please could you guys confirm I am in the right here?

Hi there,

Please could explain in more detail the areas in which I am infringing your companies copyright? MY website is selling only images that I own, it is for my photographic company. I am by no means selling your FlashDen script.

I look forward to your reply

BTW: Could that other dude from PWP have sent them an email claiming this?

It's because you did not purchase the template thing and you've put your own copyright on it. Therefore you are not in the right, I don't think.

[DarrenToogood]

The script is free, and I have my copyright on it in regards to my images. I do not think that is the problem, as it seems that they think I am selling their products?

I believe it could have been PWP emailing them claiming this

You've copyrighted the whole site as yours and nowhere on your site does it say what scripts you have used (nor in the source) therefore they have a case

[DarrenToogood]

It does not have to, I do not believe :S?

[Funya Chin]

Well that's the only thing I can think of.
