Screen resolution is 72dpi but it takes 300dpi to make a good print. If a web page has a picture that is the size of a Post-It note, it will look lousy at that size as a print. In theory, I could make a 300dpi print from it, but the length and width would shrink to 1/4 of the original dimensions. The print would be about the size of a postage stamp. If pictures are posted at 72dpi, in my opinion, there is no danger that anyone is going to be able to sell prints. There just are not enough pixels.

I'm on a Facebook group dedicated to Kate and Anna and also another group for a doc made about them called "Sing Me The Songs That Say I Love You ~ A Concert for Kate McGarrigle." On the "Sing me..." group, Rufus Wainwright says the following: bI know my mother wanted fame. She was jealous of Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell. Part of her was aching for that kind of acceptance b and letbs face it, that kind of money. She struggled with that. But she wasnbt able to handle fame emotionally, to navigate it. She didnbt have the steely will to keep all the ducks in order. So she had to just focus on her songwriting. But the end product is incredible: She was able to experience and translate the full gamut of emotions women go through without any filter, without any ulterior motive, without trying to get anybodybs pants off. Her catalogue was the best gift she could have given her children.b - - Rufus Wainwright on his late mother, singer-songwriter Kate McGarrigle ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:50:42 -0800 From: "Randy Remote" Subject: Re: JoniMitchell.com 1996-2013? I think usually in these cases, the first step by the copyright owner is to notify the webmaster, and if the webmaster fails to remove the photos in question, then there is a basis for legal action. Since Les has promptly removed them already, and was not aware of their ownership, and was not profiting from their use, I doubt Ms. Scam Artist/Photographer has a leg to stand on. Hopefully someone on the list (Kakki?) has some legal knowledge that would help. Maybe send a letter alerting them that you intend to recoup for damages for any frivilous lawsuit that might follow, maybe they will fu...uh, back off.

It's most unfortunate, Les, that you're currently the target of some pretty unpleasant characters. The law firm which has sent you the demand letter is written about extensively on the "ExtortionLettersInfo" (ELI) site - there appear to be dozens of separate threads, these being just two examples: http://www.extortionletterinfo.com/forum/getty-images-letter-forum/$9-000-for-1-image!-photo-attorney-extortion-letter-by-carolyn-wright%27s-law-firm http://www.extortionletterinfo.com/forum/getty-images-letter-forum/carolyn-e-wright%27s-photo-attorney-extortion-letter-taken-down-by-scribd/msg5639/#msg5639 The photographer, Charlyn Zlotnik, was recently busted: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/ex-intern-pol-nabbed-drug-sting-article-1.1181417 http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/mom_pop_rx_BM78udBBFWzXsgy5dYXYSK "Charlyn Zlotnick, 62, a rock photographer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, was busted for allegedly selling $1,000 worth of Adderall to undercover cops in the East Village from December to July.

American Jurisprudence favors conflict resolution over litigation every-time. That said, if this person really intended to have her photo's taken off the definitive Joni site, you would think a demand for same would have been made, unless of course your intent is gold-mining a not-for-profit list. Clearly, Les did the logical thing, withdrew the photos in question immediately. The lawyers on the list could go on indefinitely on the issue of lack of "damages" here but it would make no difference to Les who needlessly has to suffers this injustice.

There have been a few links on the JM and JMDL Facebook pages where the process is somewhat discussed. There are legal statutes/regulations which seem to provide a process for instituting and challenging copyright infringement claims. You are right about the notification and request for removal of the material and compliance should either resolve it or constitute a defense. But there is a question rattling around in the back of my mind that perhaps there could be a separate claim for the infringment itself, regardless of improper use, sale, profit, etc. Can it be argued that the availability of the material alone could have caused it to be used by other unknown persons for sale, profit, etc.? At any rate, I do find the whole matter personally distasteful and unfortunate that Les has to be embroiled in it.

Please e-mail privately and let me know. Hugs, Ashara JONI MITCHELLbS BLUE TRIBUTE at the ME & THEE [MARBLEHEAD] .On Friday, March 8, the me&thee presents a special tribute concert b Joni Mitchell's Blue: A 40th Anniversary. This concert will feature a stellar cast of some of the New York City area's finest female singer-songwriters in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Joni Mitchell's landmark album, Blue. The evening will include performances of ALL the songs from Blue plus original songs inspired by Joni Mitchell. Doors open at 7:30 PM for this 8:00 PM show at the me&thee coffeehouse which is located at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead at 28 Mugford Street. Women know about the power of girlfriends b but how about an entire posse of female empowerment? For the past decade, nearly a dozen NYC and NJ-based women have been part of an informal NYC-based musical girlfriend posse called the Chicks with Dip b singers and songwriters all, who convene regularly for afternoons filled with songs, wine, chips and dip, and lots of girl talk that ranges from the silly to the sexually explicit and from the emotionally raw to the political. The Chicks are Honor Finnegan, Meg Braun, Sharon Goldman, Victoria Lavington, Catherine Miles, Karyn Oliver, Elisa Peimer, Allison Scola, Anna Dagmar, Carolann Solebello, and Allison Tartalia. Over the years, they have laughed, cried, gossiped and performed together b and supported each other through 10 years of ups and downs: the birth of Carolannbs son; Megbs marathon success; Allison S.bs wedding; Allison T.bs dating dilemmas; Elisabs husbandbs brain tumor; and Sharonbs divorce b not to mention moves, job changes, unemployment, band breakups and writerbs block. Their most serious struggle was when Victoria was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008.The gals swooped in to provide food, transportation, babysitting, and emotional support, as well as a fundraising performance in 2009 that raised over $5,000 towards Victoriabs treatment. bThe idea for the Blue show sprang up organically up at a meeting in the summer of 2011,b says Carolann Solebello, longtime Chick and former member of female Americana trio Red Molly. bWe were discussing Joni Mitchell and what her songwriting has meant to each of us, and since webre always on the lookout for ways to collaborate, the 40th anniversary of Jonibs masterpiece seemed the perfect opportunity.b Tickets for the special tribute concert b Joni Mitchell's Blue: A 40th Anniversary Celebration are $20 in advance and $23 at the door. Tickets are available online atwww.meanthee.org and can be purchased in person in Marblehead at either the Spirit of b76 Bookstore or the Arnould Gallery As at all me & thee coffeehouse events, refreshments are available, including homemade pastries, coffee, and teas.

Joniphiles - I am personally being sued by a photographer for 4 photos of hers that were uploaded to JoniMitchell.com by an anonymous fan. She is demanding anywhere from $25,000 to $600,000 from me. I am not asking for a single penny from anyone, but I am asking you to join the email campaign in my defense.

Sent my very polite eMail out. But man, that law firm seems to be like scummy ambulance chasers. Bet they're just trying to scare you into a fast, easy settlement. I imagine that's how they make the bulk of their money. I see where they've posted on their website that they're going after several other non-profit groups ( Michael Boatman v. United States Racquetball Association and Glenn W. Wheeler v. Harrison (Ark.) Regional Chamber of Commerce, Inc.) I mean suing the Chamber of Commerce? I checked her at US copyrights office and didn't see any mention of her Joni Mitchell photos so hopefully the photos weren't copyrighted (which may significantly reduce the amount of any potential liablity - though I'm no attorney). But there did appear to be a few files copyrighted without names. Good luck Les and let us know if there's anything else we can do.
