dont ask him for proof of ownership. just replace the pciture and move on. do not reply or answer to his email. you'll be fine

I wouldn't have even paid attention to it. Until you get a letter from their lawyer, nothing will happen.

Even when you get C&D letters from lawyers, they don't mean much. In the case of someone with a website being pissed off, just change the pic and ignore him.

He can't do anything to you.

The only way to settle this is with a fight. That is the only way.

Parking lot.

After school.

Winner gets the photo.

The stupid thing is, his pic is a dime a dozen. In other words, there are a shitload of other pics I could've used, but I just grabbed one of the first decent ones off of Google images. Needless to say, I've replaced the pic and have forgotten all about it.

I guess "Threat of being sued" as a topic was a little bit overdramatic, but I've honestly never been threatened before and the panic button went off. You guys are fuckin awesome though, this type of comradery is what I love about WF. Tough love but good info.

But this is a good reminder to form some sort of LLC or S-Corp as protection against something that could go sideways in the future though. I've got a young family (baby and a toddler) and the last thing I need is for someone to take away my house and everything else financially all because some didn't like the berries or something stupid like that.
