I give up

Just got a registered letter in the mail. Apparently one of the images on my company web site (that was included in a template I downloaded a few years ago) is a coyright infringement.

I had no idea, since this template was obviously purchased in good faith. So I now have a bill of over $8,000 in retroactive licencing fees that I have to pay within 10 days!

I am pissed and just defeated.

There is not much I can do about this, the company that handles the image had a long Q&A list of what ifs, and apparently it is still my responsibility to make sure the image is not copyrighted when I buy a product like that from someone else.

So this week could get much worse, that is for sure...

And no computer. I had it. Bad things just keep happening to me, I try to stand above it, but sometimes it is just too much.

The image is of course taken down from the web site, it was a little stupid blue globe. A very expensive globe...

I will have to write and see if I can reason with them, perhaps pay a one time licenisng fee of $310. I had no idea. I don't have $8,000 within 10 days. Sigh.

Now I am so stressed out I just can't even function right...
