Submission + - Canipre caught using images without permission from copyright holders
danomac writes: Canipre, a Canadian anti-infringement enforcement company, has been using photos on their official website without permission.
This company hopes to bring US-style copyright lawsuits to Canada, and they are the company behind Voltage's current lawsuits.
It says right on their website "they all know it's wrong, and they're still doing it" overlaid on top of the image used without permission. There apparently are multiple photos from different authors used, and none gave permission for Canipre to use on their website.
Canipre's response? "We used a third party vendor to develop the website and they purchased images off of an image bank", trying to pass the blame to someone else.
Some of the photos were released under the Creative Commons, meaning they could've used the photos legally if they attributed the author.
