23-CCB-0214	infringement	None given	Clayton Morris republished our video scripts in bulk without our permission to his Youtube channel which is called: Red Pilled Tv. Clayton Morris downloaded our content from our Youtube channel and re-uploaded to his channel as if it was his work. He monetized the stolen work and gained 2 million views and around 15,000 dollar revenue. This is Clayton Morris's youtube video with our video script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM8iFWKMfjw	Clayton Morris re-uploaded our youtube video scripts with the same metadata, title, description, and keyword. That is why people watched his videos and not ours. He did it not once, but 15 times, which resulted in 2 million views and 15,000 dollar revenue to him with the stolen content. He used fake information in counter-notification so probably I won't get any revenue but the relief I'm seeking is that his channel be terminated.

23-CCB-0211	infringement	Slogan or description for a product being sold.	On April 19th,2018, I created a slogan for a product, which was intended to be listed alongside the product on an e-commerce website, as well as on the back of the blister packaging for the product. Originally, I intended to work with Alexandra and Route One Apparel to bring this product to market on their website. However, she pulled out of our agreement and decided to copy my product and then perform indefensibly clear and deliberate copyright infringement by copying and pasting the slogan/product description that I wrote for use on their website. It was the identical product description used without my permission or knowledge. The copyright was assigned in 2022 but dated to 2018. See below for reference to my copyright and what was on her website. To my knowledge, the first publication of this work was on March 26, 2021, when I reviewed her website to see if she was selling a product similar to mine. Copyright certificates create a rebuttable presumption that the work in question is copyrightable if the copyright is registered within the first five years of the work being created. Bus. Mgmt. Int'l v. Labyrinth Bus. Sols., LLC, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 24900 (S.D.N.Y. Mar.	I suffered various forms of harm. First would be monetary harm, for the time and money spent working with lawyers to understand if I have a case and then to help prepare information. Second, would be infringer's profits because Alexandra and Route One Apparel used my copyright to market and sell a product in which I did not receive any money. Third would be statutory damages, Alexandra willfully used the copyright that I shared with her via email and should therefore be punished to the fullest extent. I would also include damage to reputation, loss of control, and infringement of moral rights.	No claim certified, no orders to amend	Joseph Rooney	none	Alexandra Von Paris	Claim
23-CCB-0210	infringement	A photograph I took of my father skiing	In early 2023, it came to my attention that an unknown individual had created an account on instagram impersonating my father using a photograph of him skiing as a profile picture. The individual was messaging my father's friends, I believe in an attempt to scam them in the method described here: https://www.wral.com/story/don-t-accept-that-facebook-friend-request-cross-platform-messaging-scam-making-a-comeback/20309777/. Since that time, I have contacted instagram with DMCA takedown requests on multiple occasions, asking them to remove the infringing photograph or the user's profile altogether. I have carefully specified that it is the profile picture of the account that is the infringing photograph. It is difficult to obtain direct links to profile pictures on instagram because of the way the site is coded, but in the most recent request, I managed to obtain a direct URL (the same one I link to above) to the photograph and sent them that URL as well. On each occasion, instagram has responded that I am linking to an entire profile, rather than a specific work that violates my copyright. However, on each occasion, I have been clear that it is the profile picture that violat	Statutory damages in the amount of $4999, and I would like Instagram to agree to take down the photograph.

23-CCB-0208	infringement	photograph of chickens in industrial chicken coops	Respondents copied the photograph in question and publicly displayed it on the website "Epsilon Theory" (www.epsilontheory.com). Claimant's photograph, which is still displayed publicly, was displayed alongside two blog posts promoting Respondents' goods and services. Claimant has never given Respondents permission or authority to copy or publicly display the photograph. Claimant notified Respondents of these allegations by email and by U.S. mail in December of 2020 and in March of 2021. Respondents never responded to these notices. As of filing, Respondents have removed the photograph from one portion of its website, the “Notes of the Field” page, but the photograph remains posted under the page “The Industrially Necessary Doctor Tedros,” and the images remain publicly accessible on Respondents' web servers.	Claimant is harmed by (1) the loss of licensing revenue, and (2) the lost scarcity value of the image which will negatively affect future licensing revenue. Under §1504(e)(1)(A)(ii) and §504(c) of the Copyright Act, Claimant is entitled to up to $15,000 statutory damages for the unauthorized use of the photograph, which was timely registered under §412 of the Act.

23-CCB-0207	infringement	stock recommendation based on research and computed metrics using machine learning	I, Suraj Waghulde, the owner of tickerrank.com , have built machine learning models that take data from intrinio.com and eodHistoricaldata.com and rank the stocks in different verticals like growth, value, risk, market segment and market expansion generating these metrics (scores). My neighbor - Sameer Arora learned that I have built the model and built a stock recommendation engine from myself while our kids were playing in the community park. Sameer is very interested in stock market investing and talked me into providing him all the details of the model and learned that the model output is very good. Sameer copied all the ideas I had and along with his other friend Syed H Shah (who is the official owner of therocketstocks.com) built therocketstocks.com exactly imitating my idea and data. They have a secret 50% - 50% partnership between Sameer Arora and Syed Shah as Sameer was not a permanent resident of the US at the time I established my business https://www.tickerrank.com .

23-CCB-0206	infringement	Photograph of individual	Respondent is the widow of Eugene Martin, an artist. I was acquainted with Eugene as well as Respondent. I took the picture in question in 1978 (which is noted at the bottom of the catalog page). Suzanne had access to the picture due to her relationship with Eugene. She knew at the time that I was the person who took the photograph, because I discussed copyrighting the picture then. We have had subsequent, recent conversations in which she acknowledged that I am the photographer of that picture.	To the extent that the Respondent is using the photograph to sell the artwork of the subject of the photograph across multiple forms of media and sources, a portion of Respondent's financial gain can be attributed to advertising the artwork for sale by using the photograph. I would like to be appropriately compensated for the use of the photograph. Any further use of the photograph must properly attribute me as the source of the photograph.

It is a violin play that coincides with the dance that they do when they hold hands and walk across the floor	I've became famous but with a defamed recognition and it is a shame that I was ruthlessly robbed of my sounds without being notified because we could have worked out a deal and I'm still willing to make a deal to pay me a large sum of 30,000.00 but be able to work with laff tv to play the music they took and both of us receive a financial term for doing so. If they don't want to work with me well my 30,000.00 will be fine thanks to them possibly using my physical disability against me to say that I will never get around to even noticing it was my music and the triumph of trying to have a copyright that will not get took and instead asked to be worked with for a fair financial term for both parties but I was robbed and it isn't right.

23-CCB-0196	infringement	Photograph of a living room made for an interior designer client's portfolio.	In March of 2023, an online image monitoring service notified me that one of my photos had been published on the website Trendey.com. The publication could have occurred much earlier than March, but that is when a search was performed which showed the photo displayed on the website. Without seeking or receiving my permission, Trendey.com posted my copyrighted photograph on its commercial website, which is monetized through advertisements and affiliate referral fees. The photograph is of a living room scene, and it was made for a client of mine who is an interior designer. Screenshots of the infringing usage were made, which show the photo displayed on the homepage of Trendey.com, and as the large headline image at the top of the article in which it was used. The unlicensed publication represents a clear infringement of my copyright to the photograph. I acknowledge that the photograph has been removed from the Trendey.com site after my initial contact. However, such removal, although required, does not address the issue of monetary damages resulting from the illegal copyright infringement. The owner of Trendey.com has claimed protection from liability under the DMCA S	The infringing usage devalues my photograph, deprived me of licensing revenue, and has taken a great deal of my time to address.

23-CCB-0193	infringement	The cockpit voice recording transcript from Braniff International Flight 352, which was lost at Dawson, Texas, on May 3, 1968	A Ft. Worth Star Telegram reporter obtained an unauthorized copy of our Braniff International Flight 352 Cockpit Voice Recording and proceeded to post it on the Ft. Worth Star Telegram's website and on their YouTube page. We filed complaint with YouTube and the video of the transcript was taken down but Ft Worth Star Telegram filed a counter response, which has forced us to file this action. Please note that it is against Department of Transportation regulations to release or distribute cockpit voice recording tapes for any reason other than ongoing litigation. This was conveyed to Ft. Worth Star Telegram but was ignored. Ft Worth Star Telegram obtained the unauthorized copy of the tape from the archives of Seller's Recording Studio in Dallas, Texas. In June 1968, Braniff's Vice President Harry McKillop hired Seller's to transcribe the tape with specific instructions for only three copies to be recorded including a copy for the Department of Transportation; the Federal Aviation Administration and finally, Braniff Airways, Incorporated. Braniff has asked that Ft. Worth Star Telegram return the fourth unauthorized copy of the tape to Braniff but it has not fulfilled this reque	The unauthorized release of this tape caused great grief to the families and Braniff employees lost or involved in the accident. Further, it was believed that Braniff had released the tape to generate hype and promotion for the April 28, 2023, Braniff Flight 352 Texas Historical Marker reveal ceremony, an act that Braniff would never commit or involve itself in at any time or for any reason. In addition, it has enabled countless millions to view and hear the private and copyrighted conversations of Braniff employees that were on the transcript and tape without their authorization, which is a direct violation of work place privacy. The families of the employees that were involved with the flight have been subjected to unnecessary scrutiny especially since the pilot and Braniff were ultimately blamed for the accident.

He has not deleted or erased any of the license media I am terminating after requesting several times as of 6/1/2023.	I have asked repeatedly and I have been ignored.

23-CCB-0191	infringement	The work is the musical composition itself; The underlying melodies, harmonies, and arrangement of notes constitutes the work irrespective of instrumentation, production, arrangement, or tone quality of sound recording.	The respondent released and published publicly an unauthorized derivative work entirely based on my compositional property. The respondent did so without properly crediting me for my work on the underlying compositional elements used to create the infringing work. I asked the respondent, before the release was published, to properly name me in the release credit of the infringing work. The respondent refused to comply with my request for credit.	The infringing work used my compositional information enough that it would not be clear to the general listener who was the original author of the underlying composition. This damages my reputation to mutual parties between the respondent and I. This damage to my reputation has a direct effect on my ability to become involved in musical collaborations with other parties and music producers. It causes undue stress, emotional hardship, and protecting my copyrights takes away significant amounts of my time and attention that would otherwise be focused on my normal business. The relief I am seeking is a determination of infringement from the CCB. I am also seeking relief for costs because it is my belief that the infringing party has acted in bad faith during the counter claims process.

23-CCB-0187	infringement	The work is a base track over which separate vocal tracks were intended to be layered	Respondents Ralph O. Selby, Karen Selby, and (upon information and belief) Kalamazoo Regional Theater LLC associated for the purpose of creating, producing, and presenting for profit a musical play known as TWO PRINCES (the “Play”). Claimant shall refer to this association as “The Association.” Claimant asserts The Association constitutes a partnership under New York law, and that the respondents are jointly and severally liable for the alleged infringements. On August 24, 2020, Respondents Ralph O. Selby and Karen Selby entered into a written agreement with Claimant, whereby Claimant would create the score, orchestrations, and new music for the Play. (Original music and lyrics were authored by Respondent Ralph O. Selby, and Claimant asserts no claim to those underlying works.) Claimant authored and delivered to Respondents the works set forth in Reg. No. PAU004171017 and Reg. No. SRu001541199. The Parties subsequently had a falling out and informally agreed to terminate the August 24, 2020 agreement. In January, 2023 Claimant’s counsel delivered a proposed termination agreement to Respondents whereby, in part: Respondents would agree to cease any use of Claimant’s work;	For the alleged infringements of the works set forth in Reg. No. PAU004171017 Claimant seeks actual damages of $6,250 and an order to cease all present and future use. The registration date for Reg. No. SRu001541199 is May 4, 2023. Upon information and belief, the works set forth in that registration are unpublished because Respondents made them available on SoundCloud for listening but not download. Claimant reserves the right to examine this point further as the proceeding progresses. Assuming it to be correct, however, Claimant seeks statutory damages of $3,000 for each of the three works identified in this proceeding – for a total of $9,000 and an order to cease all present and future use. Claimant has captured and attaches evidence of this infringing activity occurring after the date of registration. (Note, as well: the filenames contain Claimant’s initials. Respondents posted Claimant’s own sound recording files.) Total award requested, based on the foregoing: $15,250.

On September 30, 2020 I discovered that American Ranch Horse Association (AHRA) posted one of my copyrighted works on their Facebook account on December 17, 2019 without obtaining the permission or the necessary licenses from me. This infringing content was left up for at least 11 months, during which time it was instantaneously distributed to AHRA's 19,648 followers. Furthermore, the post has induced at least 142 other individuals to share the work with their followers, thereby exacerbating the unauthorized dissemination of my copyrighted work. It is also believed that the post may have violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by infringing upon the Copyright Management Information.	Had AHRA purchased a poster or book for everyone that received my work as a result of AHRA's distribution, the cost would be well over $800,000. l am seeking $30,000 in damages for these infringing actions.

I have not been provided with Sync Licenses (one as copyright owner and one as sound recording owner) or compensation for this usage, nor I have I received any notification or credit.

Dear Michelle, I am a junior editor at a small publishing house in Marseille, France, called Le bruit du monde (which roughly translates as "the sounds of the world"). We are going to publish a translation into French of the memoir/autobiographical essay of a young Norwegian writer and researcher, Jan Grue. In his memoir, he deals with the issue of being a disabled man in a world that isn't meant for him to fit in, and also tells us about how he eventually came to terms with his extra-ordinary being-in-the-world, and learned to accept it. His voice is strong and we wanted to make it heard to French readers. In his book, he reminisces on how living in Amsterdam as an exchange student was both a wonderful and trying experience : the cobblestone streets, the canals, the city itself weren't meant to welcome a person in a wheelchair, and yet he came to love it and its atmosphere. He specifically remembers listening to your song again and again, "5 am in Amsterdam". He quotes 5 lines of the song in his book, and we were wondering if we could quote those lines too in our	I contacted Wendy Szymanski on April 18, 2023 and she replied on April 20, 2023.

Visit Kitsap Peninsula (VKP) has, in a number of instances, used my copyrighted photographic art on their social media pages and website without my permission and without purchasing these images and the rights to publish them on their social media pages and website. Many times, they never even cited me or my business as the source. VKP maintained this practice from at some point in 2018 through late October 2022. Originally, in March 2021, I discovered VKP was using several of my images on their Instagram page. When an image is uploaded to Instagram, after a week of being uploaded it will display the date of the upload. The earliest dates of the images that VKP uploaded were in 2018. At first, it seemed audacious to see the number of images they were using. I didn't remember giving VKP permission. Given the two "partnerships" VKP initiated with me in 2018 and 2020 (See exhibits titled "Sponsorship that led to VKP creating Kitsap Bites in 2020" and "Partnership if I switch to LLC in 2018"), I checked my past emails sent to VKP just to make certain VKP hadn't received any prior permissions to use my images during those times. I did not find any emails of me giving permission to VK	Relief I am seeking is explained below: 1. Statutory damages and a portion of any profits VKP made off of my Keb' Mo' image. When I originally initiated this complaint, I had misunderstood the law and didn't quite understand I might be eligible for any statutory requirement. However, if the Copyright Claims Board agrees with my complaint, then I would request they consider granting me statutory damages. 2. I am requesting VKP perform an audit of their digital assets and photographs in a manner that reassures me or confirms to me that they do not have any of my images on their servers that they might inadvertently use in the future. I ask because I know they have had edited versions of my images in the past. See my exhibit of an email to the lawyer titled "Email to VKP lawyer on November 11 2022 to check servers for image" that details an image of mine that they edited. Harm suffered is described below: 1. Harm to Transparency in Government Procurement.

Any public online post using this picture must immediately be removed to avoid any further harm.	Max Sebrechts was forced to step down as Vice President because of false allegations of rigging after the Oct 3rd Miss USA pageant and the mixed-up articles published by DailyMail.com ("DMG Media") on October 17th 2022. The US-based and US-resident reporter "Ben Ashford", illegally used the "Selfie of Max Sebrechts", which had no place in the article and which has already been proven to be irrelevant in the alleged rigging claims.

(See U.S. Copyright Registration No. PA0000409262; March 16, 1989) BACKGROUND OF THE WORK: The Work is an approximately 46-minute video featuring a recording of a live stand-up comedy performance by a Comedian. Taped at Philadelphia’s Comedy Factory Outlet in 1986, it is a rare recording from the early stage of the Comedian’s career before he went on to achieve national name recognition. Upon initial release by Vestron Video (then a subsidiary of Vestron, Inc.), the Work reached #2 on the Billboard Video Chart - bested only by a video release from Sir Paul McCartney himself. This instant success was remarkable considering the Work’s VHS list price at the time ($59.99) and a complete absence of any promotional and marketing activities to generate audience interest in the Work. Upon expiration of the agreement between Claimant and Vestron Video in 2002, Rhino Entertainment Co.

22-CCB-0272	infringement	Photograph of Canon lens extender on white background	Respondent Ducati Studios, LLC, dba Snap Studios ("Snap") accessed the photograph at issue via Claimant's website at https://www.mrussellphotography.com/blog/canon-ef-1-4x-extender-ii-review/ and illicitly copied it from there. Snap then reproduced, posted, displayed, and distributed the photograph on its commercial website and its instagram page, to promote that it offered the lens extender for rent. Snap never requested nor was ever granted a license for these uses. After being put on notice of the infringement, Snap did not cease using the photograph. Counsel for Claimant filed DMCA Takedown Notices with AWS and Instagram, effecting the removal of the work. Respondents Ivey and Duran, as sole managing members of Snap, had control over the infringing uses of the photograph and received a financial benefit by remuneration from any rentals of the extender. Therefore, Ivey and Durant are vicariously liable for the direct infringement by Snap.	Claimant requests statutory damages in the amount of $15000. Claimant further requests attorney's fees and costs as Respondents have shown bad faith in their pre-litigation communications (see attached statement of facts).

They did this through embedding the video. My original video can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/225245092	The App Shack, Inc. and it's agents improperly used my video for over 4 years on their website. You can see a detail of events of this incident at this web page here: https://www.maxwilsonphotography.com/copyright-violation-by-the-app-shack-wheaton-illinois/ Using my work in such a manner devalues it and makes it not as desirable to other potential local clients who may wish to license it properly for it's use. I originally sent them a very reasonable $4500.00 invoice for it's use, which equates to $100.00 a month. This is far below the regular retail license price of my video as seen on my licensing agency Nimia. Just one sequence of my video would license for $1000.00 a year for this type of use. They used the entire video containing 71 unique timelapse sequences. I was notified through email there would be no funds to pay me and that all the parties involved now work and run VistaSuite, another Wheaton, IL based tech company. They did make their website private a few days after I notified them of the unlawful use. Initial communications with them have met with negative results to pay my invoice.

No synchronization rights were obtained for the synchronization of the music to the film which was used for the live-streaming of the performance on each of the 5 occasions.

Smuin deprived me of the ability to publicize my involvement with this work and with their company, which is a known dance company in the world of contemporary ballet. The normal penalty for unlicensed music use in the world of music publishing and master recordings is a 3x-10x fee penalty per infringing use. I initially proposed a 3x penalty of my normal fees for live performance/grand rights use and no penalty multiplier for the year-long use of the filmed performance on Smuin's website and social media sites. That total fee was $7000. Smuin rejected it saying they normally paid between $50 - $1500 for music use - which only confirmed my suspicion that Smuin is well aware of its legal obligation to license its music, and in this case, chose not to.

Additional coverage concerning a discussion of the evidence and the steps taken to obtain it. It is a work of public interest that provides newsworthy information about this missing person case. The work is posted on YouTube and includes a watermarked copyright notice as well as a notice within the comments.	On information and belief, Respondents posted an audio visual work that contained in its entirety the Claimant's subject work. Additionally, Claimant's work was reproduced by Respondents in the same form as that published by Claimant. Therefore, the Claimant's work appears to have been directly copied and included within Respondent's work. The infringed material can be found, on information and belief, beginning at the six minute and 30 second mark of the Respondent's video and concluding at the sixteenth minute and 30 second mark. The Respondent's infringing work has been taken down by YouTube and can no longer be viewed at this time based on notice given by Claimant of its infringing nature and Claimant's rights in copyright. However, save for this Claim, the Respondent's work is likely to be re-posted as early as the 14th of September, 2022. The Claimant's video and thus the infringed work can be found on YouTube at the following URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjYNfrb5NJs. Claimant broadly disclosed notice of copyright with the work. Additionally, Claimant filed for copyright registration within a day of publication.	Claimant is and has been establishing an ever-growing YouTube channel which reports on and investigates matters of public interest. The current subscriber base is over 16,000 members and the posted videos receive generally thousands to tens of thousands of views with many comments by interested viewers. The Claimant, through this channel, is furthering a market for a certain type of in-depth, detailed, and personal news gathering and distribution of newsworthy events that are not typically known through typical news outlets. Respondent competes in a similar type of market and through infringement of Claimant's works has furthered Respondent's YouTube video channel at the diminished and expense of Claimant's YouTube video channel. Claimant receives revenues from its channel generally through the number of subscribers, views and through paid membership. Respondent, on information and belief, similarly, receives revenues generally based on the number of subscribers and views. As a result, Claimant submits that Claimant has lost revenues through the infringement of Claimant's work while Respondent has profited from it. Thus, these are commercial enterprises.

Your Honor, Thank you so much for the opportunity to present this matter before the CCB. Please find below a brief background of the issue: In March of 2015, I hired Mark Saxenmeyer of The Reporters Inc. a Minneapolis-based media production agency to assist with fundraising and perform certain production work for completion of my documentary film series titled: The Innocent Convicts. A fundraising contract and Project Assistance Area Agreement(see attached please) were drafted by The Reporters Inc. Executive Director, Mark Saxenmeyer which expressly provides ownership of all videos created for The Innocent Convicts project belong to me and my studio-Mankind Pictures. I paid the sum of $250 out of $500 which was due as project initiation fee as stated in that agreement. Although I initially titled the Project Tim Cole, The Innocent Man, I renamed it The Innocent Convicts in 2015 due to the need to include more stories to the Film project. I started with filming the story of Tim Cole in Texas and three years later, we had completed production of six stories that happened in five different cities with a timeline of completion set for 2016/17. The project was not completed a	I have made multiple request for the raw and completed copies of the videos in the possession of Mark Saxenmeyer and The Reporters Inc., and they have refused to provide the videos to me. I also requested a detailed breakdown of funds raised as well as Expenditure report and all materials related to the film.

December 8, 2021 at 9:50 pm the respondent, Nathaniel Ladson sent a text message with an exact rendering of the copyrighted image "Sunglass Corner" attached, to a friend of mine and gallery owner for consideration in an upcoming exhibition. The text also included a picture of Nathaniel Ladson standing in front of "Sunglass Corner" (with his name on it) hung on a wall at a Georgianna's Joint in Manhattan, NY. He has also used "Sunglass Corner" as his cover image on Facebook.	As a photographer for over 40 years, "Sunglass Corner" is my signature photographic piece. It is the image that I am known for and is easily recognizable as my work. "Sunglass Corner" helped to launch my career. It has been published and exhibited widely. I have collectors who have purchased limited editions, valued at $1500 each. Copying and reproducing "Sunglass Corner" in any way, reduces its value. My collectors bought and paid for the emotional sentiment evoked by this image- four elderly men from a different time standing as present day sentries to the Village of Harlem, New York. The high contrast and soft grainy texture is indicative of the style I've created, by using the same materials in processing and printing my images. Reproducing the image cheapens and devalues it tremendously. I've invested years, time and money honing my craft and skill as a self-taught photographer. This infringement has also threatened my reputation as a professional. I can't have the authenticity of my work questioned at this stage of my career. I have had my attorneys send letters to cease and desist all activities.

On December 18, 2019, I discovered that my photograph of one of my original acrylic paintings was being used as the primary advertising photo to sell “BYOB” acrylic pour painting classes at a New York-based company called “The Paint Place” through the website CourseHorse.com. They posted this photo in affiliation with multiple classes being held at least two different “The Paint Place” art studio locations in the New York City area throughout 2019 and 2020. According to posts of class listings on CourseHorse.com for “BYOB Panting: Paint Pouring” that had my photograph posted on them, these classes were being sold at a price of $60 per person, had an “average of twenty students” per class, and were often listed as being “sold out”.

Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kindle have been selling my book on their sites and sending the money elsewhere. I'm assuming to Kenn Dunn.	Since this is the second time that I've been taken advantage of by a publishing company, this situation took a toll on my mental health. The thought of someone else taking credit and making money off my work made me physically ill and caused severe depression. I was left in financial strains that affected my livelihood and was almost evicted. I've reached out to the online sites to have the files transferred and continue to get an automated response. I paid an estimated amount of $5,000 and have no idea how many books have been sold or the amount that is owed to me. I had to stop promoting my book and take down my websites. This situation also made me an open target to thieves trying to steal my intellectual property and plagiarizing my book on their IG and Facebook pages. I've made both local police and the FBI reports on the people I believe were doing this.

22-CCB-0015	infringement	Full length Young Adult novel; urban fantasy; paranormal	The author is a minority female writer based in Australia. Disney-Hyperion, an imprint and/or subsidiary of the other two respondents, sublicensed the rights to the two titles in question from the author’s primary publisher, HarperCollins Australia via its UK sibling entity, HarperCollins UK (“HCUK”) on 23 September 2010. The author sought a reversion of those rights back from Disney-Hyperion to HarperCollins due to repeated contractual breaches by Disney-Hyperion. Rights were reverted as between Disney-Hyperion and HCUK effective 29 July 2014. On 31 January 2022, HarperCollins Australia reverted the rights to the two titles in question under the head agreement to the author who, on that date, assigned the copyright in those two titles to the claimant. Both HarperCollins Australia and HarperCollins UK have since confirmed to the author and claimant in writing that all rights in the 'Mercy' Series (including Mercy and Exile) by Rebecca Lim have been reverted to the author by both entities and that the author is free to dispose of rights in her works as she will. On 5 March 2022 (Australian time), the author discovered that Disney Publishing has continued to distribute the tw	The claimant seeks statutory damages of $7,500 per title ($15,000 in total for this proceeding) as the continued existence, availability and distribution of the Disney-Hyperion versions have caused reputational damage to the author, lost sales to the author, exposed the author to continued piracy (over a period of successive years, both the author and the claimant have issued multiple DCMA takedown notices from Australia in relation to the Disney version of the titles) and competed with the claimant's own re-issued editions of the two titles. The claimant cannot prove, based on the claimant's relative lack of bargaining power, its jurisdiction of domicile and inability to seek proper discovery and accounting from Disney, through which channels Disney has distributed the two titles, and how Disney has profited from the infringements.

As set forth above, the Dolls Kill Copyrights are valid and owned by Dolls Kill, and have been registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Defendant, without the permission or consent of Dolls Kill, has designed, manufactured, produced, distributed, marketed, promoted, offered for sale and sold the infringing Materials which is identical and/or substantially similar to the Dolls Kill Copyrights. Specifically, The website located at https://www.anotherchill.com/ ("Defendant") contains works that infringe upon Dolls Kill’s Copyrighted photos and designs ("Copyrighted Material"). Dolls Kill sent a first takedown notice per the Digital Millenium Copyright Act ("DMCA") to Defendant's service provider on January 31, 2022. The work was removed but more infringing content was discovered in April 2022. Dolls Kill sent another takedown notice and the work was allegedly removed from Defendant's website. On June 15, 2022 Dolls Kill discovered several additional copies on Defendant's websites. It thus appears that Defendant willfully and repetitively infringes upon Dolls Kill's rights, despite Dolls Kill's efforts to resolve this issue without court intervention.	By reason of the foregoing, Defendant has infringed and continues to infringe, the Dolls Kill Copyrights in violation of, without limitation, the exclusive rights of reproduction and distribution and the exclusive right to prepare derivative works under section 106 of the Copyright Act, and section 501 of the Copyright Act. Defendant’s infringement of the Dolls Kill Copyrights has been and continues to be intentional, willful, and with full knowledge of Dolls Kill’s rights pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 505. As a direct and proximate result of its infringing conduct, Defendant has made and will continue to make substantial profits and gains to which it is not entitled to actual damages, and Defendant's profits attributable to Defendant's infringement. Alternatively, Dolls Kill is entitled to the maximum statutory damages, the costs of this action and such other amounts as the Court deems proper and within the limit authorized by this Court.

The first time I became aware of one on Instagram, I sent a DMCA notice to Paris' company, at management@parishiltonentertainment.com on 9/17/2020 for the Sept. 2020 infringement, as that was the one I became aware of first, requesting removal of the infringing work from Paris' Instagram account.

My infringements of this IP have increased greatly in the last 3 years but especially in the last 2. I believe these infringements played a part in that by giving Paris' viewers the impression that my IP is a freely available work to use should they find it being distributed (illegally) online. I believe it may also be causing brand confusion between myself and a competing fairy wing maker, HelloFaerie, who engaged in slandering me a few years ago when she was trying to compete in the market. HelloFaerie has been providing Paris with her fairy wings for the last 2 or 3 years. Her business was built upon the foundation my work created. Since these infringements, I have been incorrectly credited or tagged as the wing maker in posts showing HelloFaerie's work quite a few times. This has been adding insult to injury. I am seeking roughly $12,000 in relief, based on previous copyright settlements for online displays of my work and due to the frequency with which the same IP has been infringed by Paris / 11:11 Digital.
