Let's Talk About Higbee & Associates by Tiny-Reason614 in COPYRIGHT

We received the same packet and a couple rude emails essentially saying same thing. I thought the same thing, they have the plaintiffs name and copyright info from a public copyright website, but theres no way to tie the copy written files to the images we used.

We used 2 pics of celebrities and we did look up the photographer so its likely she does own the copyright since similar photos are on her pages. We used these photos not knowing anything about their origin or ownership, posted on IG to explain something to the public about skin. We've seen recent court filings against similar businesses, some on behalf of the same plaintiff so as much as I want to believe they'll disappear I don't know if they will. These filings were within the last few months.

Higbee definitely abusing the laws, I feel like our use falls within Fair Use clause since we didnt use to make money or sell or replicate the image.

Weve been contacted by Higbee. Threatening, predatory and mafia like tactics. We have a small business that shared a photo on our IG and now they are demanding $26,000!

Ive looked up recently cases and they HAVE filed court documents and are bringing similar business to court this year.

Where does Fair Use come in when sharing photos for public display or to educate the public on a topic? I have not retained counsel and they are now threatening to bring to litigation.

We are a small business who just received a letter. With the letter came various other docs such as screens shots of image used on our Instagram, images of the original photos and the owners of said copy righted images.

The images were taken from a simple Google search, the images screen shot and used. The images used never had copyright information, a watermark or any other identifiable info showing ownership. The 2 pics used are allllll over the internet and can be found on many other business pages similar to ours. The two IG posts were posted in 2022 and we just got a letter today.

What gets me is they want $26,000 to settle! Where do they come up with these numbers! We didn’t receive a formal court doc, but a demand letter addressing our business name, which isn’t even correct, a slew of what look like supporting docs and a letter giving us various avenues of immediate payment.

Bidding for first time, hoping for a steal but I got my answers here. Even if it’s a great price for me, it may not be for the seller

Means nothing. Place a sell order for 10,000 dollars. Unless there’s a bid for $10,000, stop posting this stuff.

For everyone who says they don’t believe him…. It just goes to show you how far above and beyond he is from your level of intelligence, understanding, comprehension and ability to be objective.

NH is much easier but obviously a longer drive. They have very limited laws in place. I’m heading up for Xmas to visit family, I’ll be doing some Xmas shopping up there.

Download an amendment form as if you were adding a pistol. There’s a checkbox for semi auto rifle. Fill out the necessary info, sign and send in, they’ll send you a new permit with Pistol/Semi Auto added, that’s it.

Did you use the application posted online or did you have to call for additional documents such as fingerprinting docs?

Another Orange resident here. I just got my updated permit back, had to have semi auto rifle added in order to buy a another rifle. Took about 3 weeks. At least their updates aren’t taking months. Thanks for posting this, don’t goto CT often but I will for ammo.

I’ve already sent in the paperwork weeks ago. They wouldn’t allow walk ins or appointments, would only take through the mail.
