Hello everyone,

I own a small LLC that has made thus far 0$,

I'm also dealing with cancer and a LOOOT of life hurdle, as a non us resident (i live in tunisia), i've put blood sweat and tears in launching a website, opening a US LLC, setting up bank accounts, payment processors etc...

I have received a letter via my mail forwarding agent from a company called PicRights asking me a ridiculous amount of money because we've used a copyrighted image from the internet on our website, just the sight of the letter has put me in total distress.....

The picture was added to the website approximately one month ago and has been removed when seeing the letter.

What's more is that the image is available for licencing online for $25 but the license isn't retroactive.

The website and the company has just eaten up money and unbelievable amounts of work without ever generating 1cent.

The domain name is under my personal name and not the company's name, only the company's info was on the website while it is still under construction, so they should have to sue me personally in tunisia and not the company in the US no?

I am literally distressed over this and i'm thinking of closing off the company and taking down the websites since liability is limited to it and let them sue me in tunisia if they wish at least i can go to court. PS: i can not afford to pay their demands nor afford a US lawsuit.

Should i dissolve the company for not generating a single penny and maybe (that's a big maybe) try to open a new one? Does the domain being in my name change anything? Having this happen in the middle of such hurdles in my life is insane.
