Subject: [CNI-(C)] Public Domain Images
I took some information and some pictures (200 or so) of public domain cartoons from a website and put on my own for about two months. They contacted me on the 22nd stating that the content was copyrighted and now they are claiming $9000 in damages. Everything I have read about public domain content claims that a copyright can not be claimed on anything (titles, characters, images, storyline, etc.) coming from public domain material. I have since removed all offending content and done my best to appease their request but they are still claiming that they are sending me a bill and that I must pay it by Jan 1 or else.
Please offer some advice because I don't have this kind of money laying around will have to claim bankruptcy if they decide to sue.
