Hey Everyone,
My name is Jake and I am a road producer and tour manager across the US. I have recently parted ways with the company I was working for and during the 2 years of working with them I have posted and added many photos of our events on my facebook. Because these photos have shirts and banners in them with the company logo they’ve sent me a Cease and Desist letter. There are thousands of people with these photos on their facebook. Can they legally pursue against me if I do not take these down? Facebook has no easy way to delete thousands of photos. I appreciate any help and sources where I can provide the proof to this company.
Thank You,
Jake

Jake, Perhaps the Cease and Desist letter is only in reference to your posting the images in the future? I would try saying that you will no longer post images (in the future) and see if that’s good enough. After all, once things are out on the world wide web there is very little chance you can get them removed.

Their lawyer is stating that all of it has to come down. Unfortunately facebook is very difficult to get ahold of and they’re thousands of photos.
Thanks for responding
Jake

Wow @jacobswanson11 That is a tough one! If the photos were their legal property then I would think they have a case. But posting photos with shirts that have their logo on it seems a bit ridiculous.
I do have to say that image copyright is not my strong suit so I would consult a lawyer if you can.

Only surest way that I know of is to cancel your Facebook account and then rejoin. I’m pretty sure that will satisfy them.

@jacobswanson11- anyways, does that defame the old company ? no, i do not think. If you can convince them, about not posting in future , should come out well, otherwise , @bob-greenhas already suggested the remedy.
