Dear Sir/Madam,

Subject: Copyright Infringement

We refer to our previous correspondence regarding the use of imagery we exclusively represent on your website stevemoxon.blogspot.com. To date, we have not received confirmation of a valid licence or a settlement payment for the use of this copyright-protected imagery.

All images are protected by copyright from the moment of creation, and we reserve our legal right to defend the intellectual property of our photographers, they make their living from the proper licensing of their images.

It is a common misconception that images found online can be freely used, which is not the case for the images we represent as they require a licence.

Copying, using and communicating copies of the image(s) to the public without consent of the copyright owner in the form of a valid licence is deemed an infringement of copyright in the Work, under the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988.

We are offering you the opportunity to resolve this by paying the settlement fee.

See further information below about the situation and the steps you need to take to resolve the matter. We ask that you respond in the next 7 days to avoid any potential legal escalation.
