My First Infringement (So Far As I Know)
I got an email today from Josh Moshier, who discovered the above ad for BookRenter.com on Facebook. I've spammed BookRenter with several "cease and desist" emails, and I've filled out an infringement form with Facebook as well! We'll see if I get any response.UPDATE (1/26): I got a response from Facebook - they want a screen grab of the infringing image, and the URL that the ad links to. I've sent the picture of the ad in my response (thanks again, Josh!), but I don't have the URL. If anyone sees this ad on Facebook again, could you please click on it and send me the page address that it links to? I'd really appreciate it.
UPDATE (1/29): Josh found the URL for the ad (thanks yet again!), so I've sent that along to Facebook. They'd also like to get a screen grab of the entire page where the ad appears, so if anyone out there sees it, please get an image of the whole thing - a screen capture, a digital photo, whatever - and send it along to me. Thanks, everybody!
UPDATE (2/4): Facebook contacted me again to let me know that they can't find any evidence of the ad, so they believe it to be pulled. BookRenter has also written to notify me that the ad has been pulled from their end, so I really think it's gone at this point. Thanks again to everyone for their support!
