Anybody mind?
« on: September 20, 2011, 02:58:51 PM »
Found a photo of mine on a "patriot"/white supremacist website. It's kind of ironic considering how much this site touts their knowledge of the Constitution.
Anybody mind if I go after them or should I just send a cease and desist letter followed by a "reasonable" demand of $50-$200?

They probably have "non-profit" status.
In that case, it would be "fair use".

(cool story, tho.)

Non-profit doesn't necessarily equal fair use.
All four factors of the fair use balancing test must be weighed.
It could easily be claimed that it hurts my "brand" by being on a racist site.

Good point.
Are these guys scary or just posers?

According to a human rights group, they are the real thing. I refuse to be scared of idiots like this.

I'm impressed that you would take those guys on.  The Aryan brotherhood runs deep.

I'd hire Carolyn Wright and Evan Andersen, then ask for $15k.

Mike,
This isn't just a professional issue for me, my daughter is a registered member of a tribe so it's personal, as well. Unfortunately, I've had run ins with these types before.
