The Most Effective Way to Fight PicRights: Their Client List

Image
This will take a few extra minutes but will no doubt be  the most powerful and effective  thing we can do, together. Remember the rule:  follow the money . This is what every successful advocacy group does: they go after the money, the clients, the advertisers.  I've made it easy to do this! Below I will post a list of PicRights' clients - these are the image creators and publishers who have hired PicRights to "protect" their works. I bet most of these companies have no idea how slimy PicRights really is. They need to know. Email as many of these people as you can. I've given you a shortcut below: you can highlight, copy and paste the entire email list all at once. Remember, these are the people that keep PicRights in business! Explain to them, in your own words, why they shouldn't be working with PicRights, and how PicRights is a predatory, ambulance-chasing, bottom-feeding outfit, that preys on the vulnerable. Insist they sever all ties with PicRights. Reme...

Urgent Appeal to Cut Ties with PicRights

Image
Dear PA Images, Reuters, AP and the 50+ other companies who are currently working with PicRights : On behalf of millions of Americans—and that is no exaggeration—I am writing to warn you about the deeply unethical and predatory practices of a company you may currently do business with: PicRights. At first glance, PicRights may appear to be a legitimate intellectual property enforcement firm. In reality, their business model hinges on intimidation, deception, and exploitation. They rely on aggressive threats, exaggerated scare tactics, and manipulative behavior to extract settlements—often from vulnerable individuals and groups who lack the resources to fight back. Their targets frequently include senior citizens, nonprofit organizations, churches, veterans groups and even individuals with mental disabilities . This isn’t the outcry of a single disgruntled individual—it is the collective voice of countless victims across the country. A simple Google search will reveal a mountain of t...

I need to be clear I am NOT an attorney. I am not responsible for your actions and any results you encounter during or after your dealings with PicRights, Higbee and Associates or any other copyright trolling firm. This website contains my opinions - use it and others and make your own decision.  Who I am is someone who has done hours and hours - days, really - of research on PicRights and Higbee & Associates and their fear-mongering tactics. I'll repeat what I have written elsewhere in this blog: If you're not a major company who makes a lot of money from your website, they are not going to sue you. It simply doesn't make financial sense for them. Remember their model: hundreds of THOUSANDS of "scary" demand letters, which leads to millions of dollars for them, without ever stepping into a courtroom.  Am I confident they won't sue you? Let's put it this way: If you're not a major company making tons of money from your website, I'd bet there i...
