To be clear, I took no joy in shutting her site down. GoDaddy is a bit heavy handed in their response and I have learned a lesson here. The main point is that she used the image without permission and her site went down because of it. To turn around and accuse me of being a part of a diabolical conspiracy was out of left field. She should have contacted GoDaddy and worked it out. I did my part by rescinding my DMCA when I realized the impact it was having and offered her my willingness to resolve this one on one.

She's still using the image on the business' Facebook page. Are you going to tackle that one too or is the burn not worth it at this point?

  I wonder whether DMCA stuff is applicable for Facebook also and if anyone had real experience in that?

    It is and it was mentioned in the article we're discussing. "Facebook, for example, would remove the image in a matter of hours."

  I have contacted Facebook about that image, but I suspect they are too busy rolling in their new found wealth to give it much attention.

You handled it better than I would have. I wouldn't have rescinded the DMCA. I cannot stand people who make false accusations, are self-righteous and/or act like they are blameless when they themselves are at fault. If the person genuinely cared about their charitable work their first email would have said. "What do I need to do to get my sites up ASAP." Their anger should have been directed at GoDaddy. If I had received the emails you had I would have responded after 12-24 hours with. "I do not respond to slanderous, false or abusive emails. If you would like to discuss this issue please reword your email"

  This is funny. So there are people in this world that do not live up to your standards and react with self-righteousness (btw. <sarcasm>shocking</sarcasm>) and you suggest the right way to respond to it. Isn't that self-righteous on its own?
