Hi everyone,
I’m a photographer from Belgium. I discovered one of my photos has been printed illegally and is on one of the walls in a cruise ship. It’s a major US company. I discovered this because a passenger recognized my work and sent me a photo of it.
Does anyone now what’s the best thing to do here?
Thanks!
I came here to bring this up specifically. Tony Northrup had a video about someone across the globe stealing his content and brought up how extremely costly it was. He was mad, could afford it, and was gonna fight cause they did it to him twice, from what I recall, but I do remember a point in the video where he was talking about how it became a matter of principle over money at a certain point because of the cost in money and time sink. I can’t remember if he said $50,000 or $500,000, I lean towards the 50, but either way, that’s a lot of money to fight for one picture.
I mean, if he wins, he should win back the court expenses, or does it not work like that?
I don’t know, and I’m also gonna assume it’s not exactly the easiest thing to collect a debt from half way around the world either. There’s also the real possibility you could lose.
