Dear RonGood news that they accept that they owe me. Bad news that they are offering what I feel is a derisory sum bearing in mind that they have used my image on at least 20 'jobs' including corporate brochures, large Duratrans (4) in Airport lounges, murals, websites, book covers etc etc. In fact Liverpool City Council has adopted my photograph as its corporate image in the most high profile campaign the city has ever mounted. Take heed - this is what can happen when one of your scans 'goes astray'!Haven't been involved in a copyright dispute before and haven't decided what to do next, hence any advice, off-list if deemed more appropriate, most welcome.
Your experience puts me n mind of another Prodig member from your neck of the woods who has been involved in a similar theft of his creative work by these same people and has had a most unpleasant time with them.
Whilst it might seem expedient to accept the crumbs offered, I do wonder if this simply offers them encouragement to peruse a very underhand practice. I will pass the Prodig members name off list to you in case you would both like to compare notes. In the meantime it is right that we flag up LIVERPOOL as being a city council to keep an eye on.
Cheers
Richard
