It wasn't a he, it was a massive corporation. I consulted with two attorneys, both board members, and with their help composed an email response to their request for over 6K. It stated that I was unaware that the images were copyrighted and that I took them down as soon as I discovered they were. It then requested proof of copyright registration and renewals for each of the images, and offered a settlement of $100 per image. I sent the email and never heard from them again, but I don't share any newsstand images anymore on my site. It's not worth the risk.
