Dear Sirs:

I found that a photo of mine was used without my permission on page 2 of the October 31, 2007 print edition of the Baltimore Examiner (accompanying the segment titled “Roller Derby”).

This photo is depicting two of the Charm City Roller Girls skating in a match between the teams “Night Terrors” and “Speed Regime” during their championship on October 14, 2007. I affirm under penalty of perjury that I hold the copyright for this image, that I have not given authorization for this image to be used by the Baltimore Examiner, and that the information contained in this mailing is true.

I request credit to be printed in a retraction and compensation for this infringement.

Signed,

Glenn Fitzpatrick
