<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 7618735, member: 2098&quot;]Sadly, there are cutthroat lawyers out there who spend their careers looking to sue and collect money for piddly and otherwise harmless copyright infringement. They use scanning software to scan the internet looking for text/images they feel are being infringed upon so they can serve infringement notices and demand restitution (which typically ranges from $300 - $900) in exchange for being left alone. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is literal legalized extortion and is emblematic of a system in desperate need of reform.&nbsp; I have a friend who went through this earlier in the year and has since settled. She unwittingly used an image of a horse she found on the internet on her website. This is what moderators and astute users are concerned about when it comes to posting more than just a link or brief verbatim summary from an article.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
