23-CCB-0315,https://dockets.ccb.gov/case/detail/23-CCB-0315,"McGuire v. Lee, et al",ViewClaim,09/22/2023 12:15 PM EDT,ViewClaim,09/22/2023 12:15 PM EDT,https://dockets.ccb.gov/claim/view/5153,infringement,No,"Stephanie McGuire, ms",none,Tom Lee,"Tom Lee would have never told me about this infringement if a book company didn't force him to tell the truth about who took it when they wanted to use my photo in their book. When he did tell me of its use, he failed to mention the CD cover. After I discovered it, he promised it was published just once when it had been twice. When I asked them to fix it, Steve Knutson went around to the various online articles and changed the credits, years after the articles were written-too little too late.
I have thought long and hard about taking any legal action against them and decided I really need to.
I have been very stressed out by all of this and just want to put an end to the crime they are committing. I would also like them fined the standard amount for this type of infringement times two, because they put this album out twice knowing that Tom did not take the photograph.
I would like them to recall all of the Corn CD""s and records with this picture on it , prevent them from using it ever again. I would like them to redesign the cover so it does not include this photo.
They have exploited this photo. Tom Lee is an entitled misogynist who has no problem giving men photo credits!","San Francisco, CA",USA,Yes,03/16/2023,"Pictorial Graphic and Sculptural (such as two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art, graphic art, and photographs)",Photo of Arthur Russell sitting cross legged on the beach with a microphone,"Tom Lee and Steve Knutson have knowingly used this photo over and over again, without my knowledge or permission, claiming that Tom, Lee took it. Tom Lee knew that Arthur is wearing my sweater and sunglasses in this photo and had even told me in the past that he didn't like my photos because you couldn't see his eyes.
Arthur Russell died in 1992, and Steve Knutson and Tom Lee have been actively promoting different versions of his remixed music since then. This image is recognizable by any Arthur Russell fan , internationally, at this point."

Pendleton Chamber of Commerce,ViewClaim,09/20/2023 05:54 PM EDT,ViewClaim,09/20/2023 05:54 PM EDT,https://dockets.ccb.gov/claim/view/5125,infringement,No,Susan Seubert,none,Pendleton Chamber of Commerce,"These images were used without my permission and without proper attribution. I suffered harm as it is unknown how long and to what extent the images were used as I make my living solely as a photographer and this kind of use is part of my livelihood. The attribution was to Travel Pendleton, so there was no secondary benefit to promote me as the author. I lost significant income as a result. The irony is that it is a Chamber of Commerce that is the infringer - an organization whose mission it is to promote business in the state of Oregon.","Portland, OR",USA,Yes,08/02/2023,"Pictorial Graphic and Sculptural (such as two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art, graphic art, and photographs)","Images of Pendleton, Oregon","I discovered the images that were being used while reading articles online in the Oregonian newspaper. It was surprising as the infringement had been going on for quite sometime. I contacted the people who were running the campaign, they admitted to the infringement, then refused to pay for the use. The images were taken down, but only after a demand letter was sent."

Lam,ViewClaim,09/20/2023 02:36 PM EDT,"The Board orders that the proceeding be held in abeyance, meaning all proceedings are placed on hold, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 221.1(b) pending the outcome of the application for registration of copyright in the work at issue in the proceeding. While the decisions of the registration division of the Copyright Office are completely separate from the Board, if the claimant would like to request that the Office of Registration conduct an expedited review of the application for registration, the Board grants claimant permission to make such a request via eCCB. For more information, refer to the Expedited Registration Chapter of the CCB Handbook at https://ccb.gov/handbook/Expedited-Registration.pdf. In determining whether to request expedited registration, the claimant may wish to consider the Copyright Office’s current registration processing times at https://copyright.gov/registration/docs/processing-times-faqs.pdf.",09/20/2023 05:56 PM EDT,https://dockets.ccb.gov/claim/view/5118,infringement,Yes,Eunju Lee,ETTEM LAW,Diana Lam,"It is unknown to me how many of the infringing products have been sold so far by the infringer. Accordingly, I do not have concrete knowledge of the amount of harm I suffered due to the infringement except for the time and money I spent to seek legal help. I seek USD 1,000 for the said harm. I also respectfully ask the Board to stop the infringer from selling the infringing product and order the infringer to discard all remaining items so that none thereof would be on the market to harm the product category to which my design belongs.","Seoul, South Korea",South Korea,No,NA,Other,Physical structure of child-friendly storage bag with visibility,"Except for elements of the design that are not copyrightable such as the simple texture used for the outer edge of the item and the grey color that has been used without any creative element thereto, all elements of the original work have been infringed by the infringing item. Specifically, (1) the location of the mesh bag for storing manuals and small flat parts was exactly copied, along with its size relative to the front part that is transparent, which has been purposefully chosen to increase the visibility; (2) the placement of the name tag on the sidewall, its purpose to function as a side labeling system, its relative size to the overall sidewall of the item have been exactly copied; (3) the dimensional specifications of the infringing item closely mimic or are a verbatim copy of the item being infringed upon; and (4) the PVC material on the front, which was purposefully chosen by the creator of the work to make the contents visible from the outside, was exactly copied."

Damages are estimated to be approximately $125,000, which is justified based on (1) a percentage of estimated profits from the use of the copyrighted materials, or (2) a reasonable licensing fee as per the Association of Photographers' standards.
- Diversion of web traffic from plaintiff's authorized retailers and websites to the defendants' websites.
- Loss of time (400-500 hours) and money attempting to fight the infringement in courts since 2019, including small claims in California (dismissed for improper venue), federal court (dismissed without prejudice), and preparing a case with the ITC. Plaintiff kindly requests tolling of the statute of limitations for copyright infringement in view of plaintiff's prior attempts to address the copyright infringement pro se and through other venues.","Louisville, KY",USA,Yes,12/23/2022,"Pictorial Graphic and Sculptural (such as two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art, graphic art, and photographs)",CPAP Pillow Demonstration,"Plaintiff's Works/Images were unlawfully copied on various websites that sell the CPAP Pillow pictured in the attached Exhibits/Images.
Plaintiff's Works/Images were unlawfully copied onto packaging for Defendants' competing CPAP Pillow, and CPAP Pillowcases, as they were sold from the US, within the US, and internationally.
Defendants are estimated to have sold between 7,967 and 47,800 pillows, at least based on Amazon reviews and ratings, which are typically provided by 1-3% of purchasers.
Defendant Peter Lei sold products with the infringing products prior to the creation of his LLC, Lumia Products Co. LLC. See attached Exhibit 5. For example, the Amazon listings indicated his Pillow Products were available since January 2018, but Lumia Products Co. LLC was created August 2018.

I have since sent two updated invoices for a total of $1,491. She has not responded to any invoices.
While some of my listings can be relisted per DMCA laws, Michelle has not withdrawn any of the 21 complaints against me, which results in reduced traffic to my shop, as my search ranking is affected.

1. Statutory damages and a portion of any profits VKP made off of my Keb' Mo' image. When I originally initiated this complaint, I had misunderstood the law and didn't quite understand I might be eligible for any statutory requirement. However, if the Copyright Claims Board agrees with my complaint, then I would request they consider granting me statutory damages.
2. I am requesting VKP perform an audit of their digital assets and photographs in a manner that reassures me or confirms to me that they do not have any of my images on their servers that they might inadvertently use in the future. I ask because I know they have had edited versions of my images in the past. See my exhibit of an email to the lawyer titled ""Email to VKP lawyer on November 11 2022 to check servers for image"" that details an image of mine that they edited.
Harm suffered is described below:

Originally, in March 2021, I discovered VKP was using several of my images on their Instagram page. When an image is uploaded to Instagram, after a week of being uploaded it will display the date of the upload. The earliest dates of the images that VKP uploaded were in 2018. At first, it seemed audacious to see the number of images they were using. I didn't remember giving VKP permission. Given the two ""partnerships"" VKP initiated with me in 2018 and 2020 (See exhibits titled ""Sponsorship that led to VKP creating Kitsap Bites in 2020"" and ""Partnership if I switch to LLC in 2018""), I checked my past emails sent to VKP just to make certain VKP hadn't received any prior permissions to use my images during those times.
