What we do. . . 

We get the unauthorized material removed from the infringer's site or other unauthorized posting. We begin a series of actions which escalate as needed to accomplish this first goal. If the infringement involves a newsgroup or e-group post, we'll get cancel messages* sent and warn the offender of serious consequences for repeated violations. AND, for the most serious infringements, we'll ask Counsel to carefully investigate the potential of criminal penalties and/or monetary recoveries, and to advise Members of appropriate courses of action.

By the way, InfringementWatch Members may display any of a variety of i-Watch banners and icons wherever their work is exhibited.

Please  to continue.

*Unfortunately cancel messages are only partially effective as many server hosts ignore or disallow them. Their real purpose may simply lie in providing evidence of the seriousness with which a work's owner views it's unauthorized exhibition.
