Default Unbelievable!!!

A friend of mine who runs www.newtechpirates.com has just had a solicitors letter through the post regarding the images of the Marko Martin/Michael Park crash.

If the pictures are not removed, according to the letter, my friend will be sued for every penny he's got!

Its not like the pics are in bad taste either!

I wonder if he should take them down or leave them hosted?

Don't think he has a choice unless he thinks this may be a joke.

The pictures are pictures taken of a TV screen by the looks of it. So if it was broadcast on national TV, then the pictures are for everyone ?

Ah it'll be ok.

It's corporate greed more than anything.

I think the pics have been removed and a letter sent (with a picture attached ) is in process!

I knew this would happen, so saved them on my PC straight away, just incase they was handy for anything.

Cant think what, but never know...

last thing my mate wants is any trouble so they are taken down.

Its funny in the letter. They say its bad taste etc...

Yet they show'd the footage on TV etc etc.

Coporate greed is all it is.

Common misconception (mainly due to use of video recorders etc) but TV programmes are still copyright.
