Dear Colleagues:
I am trying to help a colleague, Dino Pulerà, who is a scientific illustrator. He has illustrated a book and, unfortunately, many of his copyrighted images are posted on a website – as I understand the situation - without his permission. Here's a link to the site with the posted images: https://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/lab-3-shark-nervous-system/deck/14338345 Dino has already contacted a lawyer for assistance. He sent a cease and desist letter a couple of times to the company, Study Blue, but the memos were ignored. The lawyer said that if Dino wants to pursue this further he would have to contact an attorney in California or Wisconsin because that's where this company operates. Has anyone had similar experiences? If so, how did you stop the unauthorized use of your work and / or receive compensation? Can anyone recommend a lawyer for this case? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If so, please contact Dino directly at [email protected] Gratefully, Jorge Jorge A. Santiago-Blay, PhD blaypublishers.com 1.
