    Dear BBB,I am writing on behalf of our nonprofit organization to file a complaint regarding ongoing harassment from a law firm alleging copyright infringement. They claim that we have unlawfully used a copyrighted photo on our website. However, the facts do not support this accusation.The image in question was part of a newspaper cover that was briefly included by our website designer. Once we were made aware of the issue, we promptly removed the content. The image was not hosted on our website independently, and we believe our brief, good-faith use falls under fair use protections, especially given our nonprofit, educational mission.Despite our immediate compliance, the law firm continues to demand a financial settlement. This feels more like an effort to intimidate or extort rather than a legitimate legal concern. We view their actions as unethical and detrimental to our organization's ability to serve our community.We respectfully request the BBB investigate this law firms conduct and provide guidance on how we might protect ourselves from further harassment.Thank you for your time and assistance.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
