DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN (Copyright lawyers will harass you)

One of the sites I am a member of had used this plugin for a short time. The plugin was removed because it was broken and not working properly. You’d think you’d never hear about that plugin again as you move onto other options and ideas and never look back.

However, now an attorney from “PicRights.com” is reaching out (speaking on behalf of Associated Press) with a dispute demanding financial compensation for use of an unlicensed image. All because of one of the images that displayed from this plugin for a thumnail along with the recommended article title. They insist that the website is responsible because they “allowed” this plugin to add content to the website. Demanding nearly $400.

At first, I thought it was a scam. Your typical scammer from India or Nigeria trying to take advantage of non-tech savvy people. Then I find out they are legit, and this is a problem. A problem that no one on that website would have ever knowingly create on their own, but thanks to this plugin….apparently none of that matters.

DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN!
