My friend received a c&d letter from a company regarding an image on friends website that wasnt licensed. They were asked to remove it, which they did promptly. A few weeks later they received a letter demanding $2300 for this offense. I think the company may be based on Canada. There has not been a case filed with any court.

a) with the image already removed and not used for any type of revenue generation, do they have a claim? they dont remember where the image even originated from.

b) if we send them a check for a smaller amount and hand write a restrictive endorsement on the back i.e. "By cashing this check, company X accepts face amount as settlement in full and releases us from any current and future claims", does that work?

Thank you

Michael
