When asked to develop a site for a friend of mine, I put together several quick mock ups of the design. And after about 3 goes at it, the final layout was agreed upon and I proceeded to build the site. Well in the process of putting the mock ups together I searched for some images to use as a background.... what I found was an underwater shot with some cool looking bubbles. So I used that with the intention of eventually changing out the image. Uh oh.... guess what, I forgot to change the image. In fact, I can't even remember where I got it from. SO, to make a long story short the owner of the company I built the site for was sent a letter from a lawyer demanding the image be removed and a fee of $1000 for damages be paid immediately. I was floored... this was completely my fault, and before I get nailed here, it wasn't intentional. HONEST! I haven't spoked to the owner of the company yet, a friend of mine is the VP gave me a heads up. He didn't seem too worried about it, but as the designer, I feel like an idiot. How should I handle this? Obviously I'm going to remove the image. (i just found out yesterday) I considered asking if we could license the image to save the headache and to let them know it wasn't a malicious usage, or anything like that. First time this has ever happened to me...... any ideas guys? [img]http://www.wayoutwestenterprises.com/images/rob_sp_sig.gif[/img] Loading...
