You are qualified in law, yet you didn’t question copyright ownership of materials purchased on a CD at a car boot sale.

Presumably you have contacted the purveyor of such quality goods with similar gusto?

Your email address is already public domain - if Google know about you, the world knows about you.

Maybe you could send them a threatening letter?

I see you have a complaint against me, and a website I created using a picture that is supposed to be one of yours. I have not “stolen” your copyright as you claim, as I received this picture on a CD of images that I bought at a car boot sale for 20p. This picture did not have any visible copyright displayed on it.

You have however infringed upon my rights by freely publishing my email address on this website without my permission. You have also referred to me as a “git” and as a “plain old thieving bastards”. You have also written a derogatory reference about the standard of the website in question which I created.

Not only have your broken the law by infringing upon my rights - by the way I am qualified in law - but you contradict your own policy of not liking it when your rights are infringed but it seems okay to you to be able to infringe upon my rights.

I demand that any reference to me is removed from your website and any other source of data you have access to, otherwise I will be taking this forward and seeking compensation. I also demand that you publish a public apology to me on your website without publishing my email address.

If you can show that the image you propose was taken by yourself, and is not in the public domain, then I will gladly remove it.

In future it would be wise to make sure of your facts before infringing upon the rights of others.
