West St Paul Antiques Website Tags for PicRights Ltd and Higbee & Assocites
Due to your Image Notices November 15th, 2017 througth June 20th, 2022
All Images/Photos that was questionable has been removed  from the West Saint Paul Antiques website. After being notified by PicRights Ltd and then by Higbee & Associates.
.
All Exhibits and Claim Numbers are noted on all web page tags. Plus all links that were there has been replaced with the original information. If the link(s) were not working at that time. I tried to replace them with the actual photo in question by your law firm. If the image(s) was not available I then linked the web tag(s) to material or information that would have been there. The best that I could at the time. I may have and I most likely would have also removed photos that look or were similar to the photos in question at that time, just to be on the safe side and replace them with web tags also.
.
The image above is an example of what a web page tag looks like. You will find them on various pages on our website. It saddens me to have to remove photos from our website based on these circumstaes but it's the world we live in today educational and informational purposes only means absolutely nothing to certain folks in the world we live in today.

The same company. They just dropped the Ltd. Now it's International Inc.

Sure looks like a coordinated attack on my company website.

Letter dated

February 13th, 2023

Here we go again
 That's how I'm feeling.

 PicRights International Inc. on behalf of  The Canadian Press

Unlicensed Use of The Canadian Press Imagery - Reference Number: 4094-9680-4118 - West Saint Paul Antiques
. 
The letter goes on to say: 
.
You can find validation of PicRights's authority to act for The Canadian Press on The Canadian Press website at: https://www.thecanadianpress.com/about/partnerships/
.
You were previously notified of your company's unlicensed use of The Canadian Press's imagery.
.
At the end of this message, we've attached a visual reference of the imagery and its use on your website, social media or in media accessible from your website.

.
I'm a little confused at this particular point in time.
This letter is really nothing like the other 6 letters.
Is's real brief gets to the point, they just want their money.

The photo was removed from the webpage in June of 2022. Received a letter on February 22nd, 2023 dated February 13th, 2023. This letter was from PicRights International Inc, on a copyright infringement claim. Their client was the Canadian Press reference number: 4094-9680-4118. Asking for $350.00 to be paid. On a photo / image on the West Saint Paul Antiques website. The photo was on one of are Saint Patrick's Day web pages Click here for the web page. The letter goes on say that they made 4 additional attempts by mail, November 14th & 16th, 2022, January 3rd and February 9th, 2023. West St Paul Antiques did not receive those four letters. The return address on the envelope was from DIP out of Wichita, Kansas 67201-3415.

This photo was used for informational and educational with no profit or gain by West St Paul Antiques.

The letter from PicRights goes on to say,
.
To date, the matter has not been resolved.
.
Removel of the imagery alone will not satisfy this issue; we require a payment of $350.00 for past usage of the imagery at issue, even after you have removed the image(s). Payment can be made by contacting us directly.
.
Unless you contact us within 14 days, we may withdraw the proposed fee and refer this matter to a copyright attorney.

Thanks you, for your email today. But your work is not done. All of these images were removed from my website WestStPaulAntiques.com but they are still showing up and seem to be connect to my website. All you have to do is key in West St Paul Antiques .com /images/ and the image number and the images will pop up on the internet. Please remove all images permanently from my website and your platform and your server with is tied to Google and the internet as a whole. Please send me instructions once the work is completed, how I can do the same work in the future. Thank You, and I'll look forward to hearing from you.
