This will serve as my data collection of false claims sent by Copytrack.  I am also including not just the ones on behalf of WENN Rights International Ltd.

UPDATE NOTICE:   Since I have started, I have changed my position on not collecting all claims, specifically those of people who stole images. However, the more I learn about this company, the more I realize that perhaps I should collect every claim.  There are a few concerns I have:

1. They might not represent the rights holder, especially in cases involving WENN Rights International Ltd. – Post coming soon.
2. Since they do not provide the location, license type, and revenue history, I have concerns that they are not seeking a fair amount.  –  See my post about Copytrack going after Adobe Stock Images
3. Copytrack might have pursued cases that involve AI-rendered art.  If so, do they provide proof of human authorship?  – See my post that discusses Copytrack’s thoughts on AI-renewed art.

Copytrack Claims I have found and processed

I screen the Copytrack Cases that have been entered so far, eventually I will have staff do the searching, screening entry of claims. Please note that when you submit the claim you receive from Copytrack, it will not appear until I have reviewed it to avoid spam being publicly available.

What I am also looking for:

1. It has to be from Copytrack.com (required)
2. Who they represented. (Required)  Note, in the cases of individuals who do not have a large number of cases I will redact their names, however if that changes their names will be readded.  Please do not harass anyone. 
3. What is your right to the image (fair use, public domain, paid for it, made it…  you have no right to it). (required) I may contact you to confirm fair use due to how much people misunderstand the concept.
4. You provide a detailed experience.(the more details, the better, but not required)
5. How much they wanted you to pay (Required)
6. Is the case closed? (Required)
7. If it is closed, what did you tell them? (Required)
8. Did you contact them? If not, I would like to know details about the notices, especially if they sent a lower amount to those who did not respond. On the other end, how many times have you had to email to get a result or give up? (optional, but a plus)
9. Did they act on that claim?  Take legal action/send it to a collections company. (optional, but a plus)
10. Did you pay? Regardless of if it was a valid or invalid claim.  I also want to explore if they may have gotten money on images that do not belong to their clients.(This is optional, but I feel this is an important detail)

Please note that Fair Use is not free for all.  Here is an example of a very bad attempt to argue fair use.

Again, the more details, the better.  Timelines outlining your experience are also wonderful.

Complaints that link to bad advice or false information will not be added

I will try and contact people to remove bad advise and information, but only once.

Here is an example of what a valid copyright claim would looks like:
