Review Time
Received a claim for a image(selfie) taken on personal phone that was posted about themselves, for themselves on behalf of themselves.
Vague details with no verifiable contact of whom they represented in the claim.
Just received an email about an image on my blog from 15 years ago, demanding payment. I did a quick search to see if this company was legit and removed the posts from my website to be on the safe side. 15 years ago? I have better things to do with my time.

I received an email sent out from this company stating that my use of images on my website was apparently without licence from the owner of the image, and asking me to make contact with them to "clarify the next steps". It must be some type of fishing scam because the images were downloaded from Deposit Photos using a paid subscription, and I have paid for a perpetual licence, so there is no reason for any genuine complaint by the image owner.
Subject: FINAL NOTICE: Cease and Desist – [Insert Case Reference Number]To the Management of Copytrack,We are led to believe that your firm targets individuals and companies with unsubstantiated claims. It takes a significant administrative time retrieving and providing licensing data, for claims that are entirely unfounded. We purchase our images from reputable image stock providers (including Depositphotos, Shutterstock, and iStock) and will not continue to perform your due diligence for you.Please be advised of our final position:1. Refusal to Subsidise Administrative Burden: Retrieving historical licensing data for older content is a costly and time-consuming manual process. Given your history of issuing baseless demands, we will not exhaust our resources to satisfy your automated outreach. We understand that you refuse to compensate for this wasted time; therefore, no data will be provided voluntarily.2. Lack of Jurisdiction: As a UK-based entity, we do not recognize the authority of a German debt-collection agency to issue financial demands. Any valid claim must be substantiated via the UK court system. Any further attempt to demand payment will be viewed as an attempt to bypass UK Judicial Protocols.3. Harassment: Your reputation and behaviour are well known and well documented —issuing unverified claims that have previously been proven false—which amounts to harassment under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. We will log any further interaction as evidence of predatory "copyright trolling."4. Requirement for Formal Action: We will not engage with your online portal or automated emails. If you believe you have a claim, you must issue a Letter Before Action compliant with UK Civil Procedure Rules. We will vigorously defend any such action and seek Full Wasted Cost Orders based on your history of unfounded claims.Final Notice:Close this case in your system within 48 hours. Failure to do so will result in an immediate escalation to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) regarding the misuse of our data and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) regarding your business model.We consider this matter closed and will not enter further correspondence.
I used some bad quality photo in 2012. It had no license, now they ask me to pay 1000 euro. I removed that photo immediately, website has just few views, I am from Ukraine, without electricity and they don't care, they want 1000 euro for nothing.
Total scare tactic and scam. They are now known as RD Legal GmbH (RIGHTS-DEFEND). They seem legit, but even if you share evidence of legally using images via stock photo websites that you have subscriptions with, they ignore that and keep on with their demanding scare tactic emails, that are literally automated emails - they don't even read your email. I also did my own research and the rights holder of the alleged image they claim I used illegally isn't even the original creator of the image. The image I used doesn't even have an original creator, it's an AI generated image widely available on many stock image sites.So keep on reporting them on here and everywhere else, and keep note of the name change of the company from Copytrack to RD Legal GmbH (RIGHTS-DEFEND). And don't pay anything, that's what they're after - scaring you to pay.
I received a mail claiming an infringement demanding me to pay over 900 $. The image is an image that is included in my Canva License. Although th mail seemed serious and legit, I am quit sure this company acts as a scam and should be closed down.
