I run a gadget blog along with my business partner who recently received a
cease and desist letter from Onkyo because we apparently used an image of one of their products in violation of their copyright. Here's
our response. What's ironic is that the image actually came from Circuit City's website, not to mention that Onkyo themselves have product images in their online press kits that are (supposedly) publicly available for use. We've removed the image and article, but it was a picture of an Onkyo receiver with a non-negative description. Should bloggers now worry about what they post? Is Google Images violating copyright law?
