I set up a website about 15 years ago for classes I teach. Found a pix that said it was free to use (many years ago and I didn't have a screenshot) and recently got a letter from SPL demanding a ridiculous amount for the 40K image and said it was registered. As many of you realize it can cause untold aggravation along with days of research. I spoke to an attorney/friend that suggested I try to negotiate and move on since the cost of attorney consults along with the thought that I'd probably have to pay something in the end since it was registered. Sadly, I ended up paying $500 and the website that I created and put out there to help other teachers and students now has two layers of passwords in order to open the site.
