Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Virginia
what should i do?
I inadvertently sold something which
included copyrighted images (I copied
the wrong file to a CD). Now I am being
told to pay $1000 or the guy will sue
my landlord. He does not know my
name, but has my address. He says he
will get a judgement and then a lien on
the property. I wonder if it is advisable
pay him, and if it is then how smart is it
to send $1000 cash (his demand) to
him? Please help. Thank you.

Need more info to determine if you have (c) liability. What was on file? How was it copied? If infringement was not "willful" you may have a defense. Was the threat from an attorney or (c) holder?
