Rachel, This is the second DMCA request that I have submitted to have my image removed from Wikipedia. It's stupid that you have ignored my first request and are making me do this a second time. I took the image while on a very remote and expensive river adventure in Ivvavik National Park in June 2006. Only about 200 people visit the park each year. I have a gallery of my trip on my website. I shot all my images using film cameras. My original slide was scanned and made into a digital file. My image is located on my website at https://cornforthimages.com/photo/landscape/joe-creek-clouds-1/ The full hi-resolution version image can be viewed https://www.dropbox.com/s/ibnawb77yjt2utx/Joe%20Creek%20Clouds%201.jpg?dl=0 Can you find my image in such high resolution elsewhere? I doubt it! My image is being infringed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivvavik_National_Park#/media/File:Canada--yukon--ivvavik-np--spe_3021.jpg on this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivvavik_National_Park Theft and thievery on the internet are rampant. I vigorously defend my copyright. This image was registered with the US Copyright Office and is available on my website. Anywhere else that it exists on the internet is without my permission and is a violation of my copyright. Thank you for your immediate attention and removal of this offense!

Despite your second DMCA request and reply, there as still been no resolution and your image listed as creative commons continues to harm your licensing efforts. Thank you and good luck. glen @ copyrightllc.com From: Wikimedia Legal <legal@wikimedia.org> Date: Tue, May 1, 2018 at 1:28 PM Subject: Re: DMCA Notice of Copyright Infringement To: Jon Cornforth <mail@copyrightllc.com> Dear Mr. Conforth, Per our previous email exchange in February, the image on Wikipedia appears to be sourced to a different location than your website, where it is claimed to have been taken several years ago. If you could provide additional background regarding the image on your gallery, such as the copyright date, location the image was taken, and similar, that would be helpful in evaluating this DMCA request.
