ALL IMAGES COPYRIGHT OF TMP

PROTECTING OUR RIGHTS
Our company holds intellectual property rights to certain photographic images. We strictly prohibit the unlawful copying of these images. Through the use of eBay's VeRO program we will immediately have canceled any auction containing one or more of our client's copywritten images, as we have the legal right to do so. If the seller is found relisting the infringed item we will then contact local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, further protecting our client's rights.

VeRO: Verified Rights Owner Program
Ebay's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program works to ensure that items listed for sale do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of third parties. VeRO Program participants may identify and request removal of allegedly infringing listings.

What is a Copyright?

Copyright is a form of legal protection provided by the laws of the United States (Title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship” fixed in a tangible form of expression. The protection is available to both published and unpublished works.

Copyright Infringement
 
If proven that a copyright infringement has occurred, the owner of a registered copyright may be entitled to relief such as injunction, impounding and disposition of infringing articles, attorneys fees, actual damages and profits of the infringing party, or statutory damages up to $150,000 if the infringement was committed willfully.
