Visual China…
This was a rogue company which downloaded online pictures and charged random copyright fees for their use. Many people who had unwittingly used these online pictures were then visited by company staff demanding copyright royalties. The crucial point was that the company wouldn't allow them to just delete the pictures but insisted on compensation, otherwise the company would file a lawsuit.
If it was a rich company, Visual China would send a lawyer's letter right away; if not, they would send it a few years later after the company had grown.
The most mysterious thing was how this company which relied on image copyright lawsuits to survive could even become freaking listed…
There was a saying going around online: All of China suffers because of Visual China.
Respecting copyright was a good thing to begin with, but it wasn't right to fool around illegally under the pretext of protecting it.
