what ever happened to APIC?

Biggy · 04-06-2005

I somehow got reminded of them today.

I forget the guys name behind it, I remember they were a company that other companies could hire to pursue copyright infringement..

Whatever happened to them - they went bankrupt?

I believe you're thinking of Steve Easton but I could have the name wrong. Someone around here should remember

http://www.a-w.org/ - is this their new website?

I was never a fan of APIC, what they were doing was great, how they went about it was nonsense. I know personally

A model whom I shot years ago wrongly siced APIC on me and my former partners, I produced copies of 2 photo id's (a license and passport) and the model release/agreement. APIC never even had the courtesy to contact me to apologize

We were presumed guilty before trial by APIC, they did get a rather nice um .... chat with me and then one of my attorneys. It was a witch hunt with their attorneys thinking they were Cotton Mather (see Salem Witch Trials)

I've never told even this much of the story before due to the fact it could have damaged my reputation, it's been years gone by so now I don't care
