"If you have ever used a Masterfile image on your website, and you do not have the proper license details, I would suggest you remove it immediately. MasterFile, a Canadian stock agency is on a raid to make some fast money out of innocent website owners. Masterfile has created a crawler which can match and identify site owners who have infringed copyrighted material. Once it finds out, it just creates a big Infringement Claim and asks the site owner to pay thousands of dollars. It also includes an invoice with the mail. If you have two images from MasterFile, then you can expect anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 invoice from Masterfile. Yes, that’s how MasterFile is making fast money. Maybe they realized this way they could make more money than selling images on their website."
