So yesterday I'm at work, and I get an email promotion from this clothing/screenprinting company. I open it and in one of the thumbnails promoting their screenprinting service, I see my design of a fraternity recruitment shirt. They probably have this from back when we were printing them and I sent them a comp for a quote. Now, this obviously doesn't give them any right to use it. We didn't even print through them. I also checked to make sure I didn't agree to their use through some shady agreement when I sent it in, but it was through email with nothing such stated.
Question is – how much do I charge them? I was going to email them explaining the situation and attaching an invoice.
I think I have a connection that's a lawyer, so I don't know if it could help if he emailed them if I don't get an answer. However, it seems a bit over the top for a first notice, even though this is a copyright claim.
Great design resource
