Where do I stand?
Check with the affiliate program. Most likely she is out of luck because the affiliate program owns the pictures/rights to that set. Even though its her she signed the rights to those pictures away.

If she does not hold the rights you have every right to file a counter claim on her for fraudulent take downs. You can actually take her to court over it and win.


We have seen this a number of times as a host, but unfortunately for the girl she signed her rights away to that particular photo set when she got paid for it.
