This is not a scam nor a fraud.
The only reason why we are contacting you is because you have used our client’s copyrighted material without permission.
At this point, I would strongly suggest you take legal advice from a sollicitor who is specialised in Intellectual Property.
It is understandable that you are surprised and dismayed after being made aware of a copyright violation. However, that does not make the copyright infringement matter any less valid. It is a real concern for our clients.
They have partnered with PicRights to safeguard their intellectual property.
You don’t have to just take our word for it. You can check out what our clients have to say about PicRights on their websites at the links below:

Dodgy agency acting without authority
We too, like many others have received a letter by email telling us we are in breach of copywrite due to an image found years ago on our blog.
We don't dispute the use of the image however, we will too request evidence and an explanation of how the fine is made up. Its just a random figure. What we would expect is a breakdown of how that figure is achieved and ultimately, how much the beneficiary receives.
Until that time, they look like a lawless agency targeting small business for their own financial gain.

Dear Jonathan Kaye,
Documents such as Statement of Authorisation and Rights Holdership form were made available to you. You were provided with a login and password to our platform to access those documents.
If you cannot access it, please contact us back so we can assist you.
Should you have continued questions, I suggest you review this matter further with an intellectual property lawyer so that you may understand the situation more clearly.
I am in the same situation as many of…
I am in the same situation as many of the people who have posted - small business, small image used in the depth of a blog, aggressive letter recieved, unknown fine being demanded. I am now trying to look at options. I read this on the Reuters webpage about their own copyright guidelines - It seems they do not mind using content in some circumstances as long as it is attribted to their organisation/photographer and it is not used out of context
Thoughts would be appreciated
Attribution to Individuals and Content Details
Where any picture or graphic is attributed to any individual (in addition to Reuters or any Third Party Provider), you must clearly and prominently display such attribution (for example, REUTERS/Jane Doe, where “Jane Doe” is the name of the photographer).
Where any text story is used in the Client Property substantially as it was provided to you, you will maintain the original Reuters dateline and author attribution (i.e., the byline) that appears together with the story.

Scam cutre salchichero
No tienen oficina. Simplemente dan la dirección de un centro de negocios salchichero ubicado encima de una pizzeria en un pueblito de Suiza. Al menos podían gastarse un poco más de dinero para intentar dar el pego.
Los informes que envían por correo dan risa, imprimidos con una impresora de inyección mala.
En una palabra, cutres 100%.
Quien se puede creer que estos mendas te demanden en un juzgado pidiendo cientos o miles de Euros por un par de fotos en miniatura publicadas en un blog?. Un Juzgado no admite a trámite ni de broma semejante bobada.
Simplemente Ridículos. Ya he perdido la cuenta de cuantos requerimientos me han enviado estos mendas lerendas. Cada vez que recibo uno, me da la risa. Te dicen que te dan un plazo 14 días para solucionarlo, al mes siguiente otra vez el plazo de 14 días y así sucesivamente. Pero burros, demandadme ya, que estoy esperando a vuestro departamento legal externo (debe ser algún pizzero).
Ni piquéis ni os asustéis, mandan miles de estúpidos requerimientos y con tal que pique un 0,1% ya ganan dinero. A lo sumo borrad las fotos y enviar sus mails al spam. No entréis en su juego y no responded, a no ser que los queráis trolear para reíros un poquito de ellos.
Venga, scammers, respondedme la reseña y así me río un poco más de vosotros.

Scam Alert! Scam Alert! Scam Alert!
Respond to PicRights with apologies and a proposal for negotiation, engaging with their tactics. However, they quickly retort with another fabricated screenshot showing the image still in a specific directory, presenting an opportunity to conclusively address the issue. In your reply, emphasize that they have breached your website's terms and conditions by using bots to scan your site, extracting sensitive information, and sharing it with their partners without authorization. Highlight three significant violations, and optionally note that their second claim regarding the image's ownership is incorrect, as the true creator, as indicated on his website (include link), retains ownership. Offer to resolve the matter directly with the legitimate owner of the image, pending verification through documentation. Following this, they disappear. It's crucial to have a clearly outlined terms and conditions page on your homepage to deter such scams and insist on evidence of ownership. Rather than ignoring these claims, provide proof that they are unfounded.

Il ne s'agit pas d'une arnaque ni d'une fraude.
La seule raison pour laquelle nous vous contactons est parce que vous avez utilisé le matériel protégé par le droit d’auteur de notre client sans autorisation.
De plus, Il semblerait que le dossier pour lequel nous vous avions contacté ait été réglé en totalité.

Entreprise Suisse frauduleuse qui se sert d'un logiciel de tracking et démarche elle-même les agences médias en empochant illégalement 90% des sommes demandées.
Seulement, 1) les bases d'archives numériques sur lesquelles elles s'appuient sont situées aux USA et n'ont aucune légitimité en zone EU.
2) Les archives numériques de sites web sont réalisées sans l'autorisation de leurs créateurs ou de leurs propriétaires et sont donc irrecevables, pour peu que les mentions légales du susdit site soient bien structurées. (toute reproduction, copie du site partielle ou complète est interdite...) .
3) Les sommes demandées ne s'appuient sur...rien et ne sont pas légitimes.
4 ) La représentation des "soi-disant" sociétés qui passent par eux n'est ni établie , ni juridiquement valable. (Sinon, ils inventeraient un département propre à cet effet.)
5) En France, il est nécessaire de faire réaliser un constat d'huissier sur le moment (et non sur une archive) -
6) Le nombre de lacunes et d'erreurs juridiques que commet ce groupe d'étrons ne grandit pas leur minuscule pays. Il y a toute une industrie fallacieuse qui tourne autour de ces déjections anales, avocats pour & contre, menaces, mais rien de sérieux.
Mon conseil : Si on a affaire à un avocat, on avertit le grand Bâtonnier, si on a affaire aux petites bouses de Pic-Right, on les colle au tribunal ou on les envoie balader en insistant sur les meurs décousues de leurs mères et en leur précisant que les intimidations, les tentatives d'extorsions, le harcèlement et la violation des droits d'auteur (bonjour la copie écran avec le logo de votre site dans la boite mail) sont punies par la loi.
Moi, je suis contre la peine de mort, sauf pour eux.
Que tous les entrepreneurs honnêtes et soucieux de justice qui tombent sur cet avis me contactent. Ensemble, nous obligerons cette entreprise à rendre des comptes et a rembourser toutes celles arnaquées. (La liste est longue)

Is this legit
this company has demanded money it would be easy to accept liability ( even though I used a design company for my web site) but it gives a swiss bank account and a Uk bank account to pay into. How do I know this resolves the issue - if indeed it is an issue?
NB This matter has been resolved. I had to pay up and it was a large sum that still did not give me full rights to use the picture in question. Should bem noted - the photo in question - at that time was supposedly from a site offering copyright free images

Hi Lesley,
We contacted you since there is no licence covering the detected use. Copyright in a work is infringed by a person who, without the permission of the copyright owner copy or reproduce it (CDPA 1988).
we understand you contracted a design company to create your website. Regarding infringement issues such as this, if no licences exists with the end user, the liability of any infringement ultimately falls on the person or organisation/company (the end user) that is using unlicensed imagery. As the end user of the imagery, you are ultimately responsible for ensuring that you have obtained the appropriate rights to use the imagery. That means that if you acquire imagery from a web designer, web template provider or other such company, you are still liable for copyright infringement if that provider or other such company did not properly licence the imagery for your use.
If a third party supplied the imagery for use on your company website and warranted to you that the imagery was fully licenced on your behalf, you may be entitled to insist that this third party resolve this matter or to pursue reimbursement from them for any funds paid to us to resolve this matter, based on any agreement or contract that you may have had with this third party. However, should this third party be unable or unwilling to settle this matter on your behalf, ultimately, the responsibility to settle this matter lies with you directly.
We are willing to review any licence documentation (in the form of a Sales Order Receipt or Invoice) that this third party can provide. Please, come back to us to discuss this matter further.

Gentile Utente,
le recensioni non circostanziate, dalle quali è impossibile risalire all’esperienza recensita e alle motivazioni che la portano a definire offensivamente l’attività svolta legittimamente da PicRights, sono a nostro parere di utilità pressoché nulla. Sono inoltre in chiaro contrasto con le regole e le finalità che questa piattaforma persegue.

SCAM
IF THEY CONTACT YOU, ALWAYS REPORT THE EXTORTION ATTEMPT TO THE POLICE:
This PicRights is not a law firm, it is a company that sends requests for money in droves to anyone who has a website, they only and exclusively deal with requesting payment of phantom "copyrights" by threatening lawsuits.
They use programs that scour the web looking for photos (of any kind, they don't even check that they are old photos with copyrights that have expired decades ago).
Remember that by law legal communications must only take place via certified email or registered mail, if they send you notices via email or letter they are worth the same as spam or supermarket flyers.
They use a practice called "copyright trolling", invented about ten years ago by unscrupulous American law firms, although it is now declining in the USA because judges have begun to condemn and disbar lawyers who indulged in such practices. practices (search on Wired for an article entitled "Creditor Moves to Dismantle Copyright Troll Righthaven". Righthaven was in fact the name of one of these law firms).
In Europe a gang of Polish scammers have been trying for a few years and unfortunately they found a law firm in Berlin that lent themselves to the game

Be wary of this 'company'. I have inadvertently used a picture which they are claiming belongs to them, but cannot provide me with any proof. They expect me to pay over £600 for this or they will pass my details onto the 'law firm'.

Outrageous Scam (Of course it's a scam )
Of course it's a scam. If it weren't, they wouldn't ask for absurd amounts claiming to be fair payment for the photographer's work.
Firstly, the work of these photographers to obtain these photographs has already been paid for by whoever commissioned the work, so asking for money for a supposed license of use obviously means that this money is not for the photographer but for whoever paid him for the work.
Is this right? Only if it is in the USA or countries with absurd copyright laws, in the European Union and in most other countries in the rest of the world, this is absurd. But if these laws are from the USA or UK, there are also Fair Use laws there, that is, asking for money for a photo that illustrates a certain article, being necessary for the clarification of the article and as such with the aim of educating or clarifying someone, is covered by the law of Fair Use.
On the other hand, if there is indeed a right to pay for copyright then it should be paid based on viewing it. If I want to see a painting, I go to the museum and pay for it, I don't have to pay just because I know the painting is in the museum, which is exactly what these gentlemen ask for.
In other words, if the photograph is in a certain article/blog/webpage and no one goes there, it's the same as me knowing that the painting is on the wall of the museum, so I don't have to pay for it, if I click on the article and go see the photograph, then it's as if you went to the museum to see the painting and paid for it, so if these con artists were serious people, they would ask for a percentage of the value earned by viewing the work, nothing more than that.
As such, they are not serious people, so this is a scam to steal money, nothing more than that.

Dear Francisco Xesko Santos,
As you said: there are laws. Copyright laws are there to protect content creators such as our clients. Each use of our client's image must be licensed. My suggestion at this point would be for you to review our claim with a lawyer who is familiar with copyright laws so that you may understand the situation more clearly.
Generally speaking, using an image "that illustrates a certain article, being necessary for the clarification of the article" is not considered as fair dealing or fair use. However, your case might be more complex and we would be more than happy to review the specifics of it, if not done already. Please, contact us back.
We understand the difficulty of your situation, but we trust that you can understand that our client and the professional photographers that they represent cannot stay in business or sustain their livelihoods if they are not compensated when their work is used.
A rip-off
A rip-off. I was charged €431 for a picture on a blog site where I post short stories for my writing group of about 10 people. The page has probably had about 20 views. The picture was a small decoration that I could have easily done without. I made no money out of it, it attracted zero visitors to my website, so how do they arrive at the cost? They are picking on the little guy because we don't have the means to appeal these charges in court. How much of my €431 actually went to the photographer?

Hi Maybelle Wallis,
We contacted you because you have used our client's imagery without their approval. The fee is such case is based on the "licence analogy" which means that the amount is the price of the licence you should have paid prior to the use. We do not "pick on little guy". A licence should have been purchased, and many of our clients' customers are small entities.
We understand the difficulty of your situation, but we trust that you can understand that our clients and the professional photographers that they represent cannot stay in business or sustain their livelihoods if they are not compensated when their work is used.
Please, contact us back to resolve amicably.

Por desgracia, las alegaciones de estafa que menciona sobre PicRights son imposibles de controlar. Responsables de webs que han recibido nuestra solicitud de Licencia de uso de alguna imagen con derechos de algún cliente nuestro (y otros con un interés personal) las difunden en blogs y foros en todo internet. Lamentablemente, si no se coteja y comprueba la información recibida, otros responsables de webs las adoptan como veraces, pero esta actitud no hace que la reclamación por infracción de derechos de autor sea menos válida ni reduce la responsabilidad por usar el contenido de nuestro cliente sin permiso.
En su caso concreto, ya le hemos argumentado, demostrado e invitado a que se asesore, con quien considere oportuno, acerca de su creencia equivocada de que la imagen en cuestión de su caso es libre de derechos.
