Best Answer

If someone infringes on your copyright, it is usually best and easiest to contact them directly, and either ask that they stop using the materials, or negotiate a fee for past and future use. If you are not satisfied after this first contact, you may wish to involve a lawyer, but keep in mind that this can be expensive, and often cost you more than you could reasonably expect to collect in fees.

The first step is generally to notify them, and ask them to stop and/or offer them a license. If this does not reach a satisfactory conclusion, you may work with a copyright attorney to issue a more formal cease and desist notice. Taking them to court is a last resort.

Generally, just asking them to stop (or license the materials) works. If not, you may wish to send a formal cease and desist letter, or contact an IP attorney.

Contact the infringer with proof that your rights are violated, and suggest your ideal reparations: do you want them to stop? apologize? pay you?

When someone has viewed archived copyright protected data and sent it to someone else what has occurred?

If the data is copyright protected, the copyright holder has the right to control how the data is distributed. If the person who originally viewed the archived data went to a source that was authorized to share the data there is no problem. If the source was not not granted permission to share it, the person viewing it is probably not guilty of much (unless it can be shown that they did something illegal in order to access he source). Being granted permission to view the data does not grant the right to send it to someone else. That permission must be sought from the copyright holder. Think of it like buying and reading a book. If you buy the book, you have permission to read it. You can even give the book to someone else - but if you copy the book and send it to someone you have now violated the copyright.


Are people telling the truth about JK Rowling being sued?

I don't know exactly WHAT you have heard, but J. K. Rowling has been on both sides of justice, that is, as accuser, and as accused. Usually because somebody else either violated the copyright of Harry Potter, or claimed that J. K. Rowling had violated some copyright, also with Harry Potter.
