It's not an excuse though so thats why I already said that we take responsibility for what has happened. I'm just going to make sure there are new processes set in place to prevent this in the future (like obligatory 2257 subdirs when you do design work for us), that's all I can do now.

hahaha... the "rogue designer" defense.
I thought this one went out in 99' or so. making me feel a little nostalgic
its simple... a designer needed images for design. ANYONE that has designs done KNOWS this. you knew this. you know this. and you knew images were being jacked from anywhere and everywhere and you didn't care before the fact. you either told him to do it, or it was done with your knowledge being that you didn't supply images for design.
have you heard of statutory damages? if he had registered the images, he could be owning you right now with statutory damages up to $150,000.00 USD per violation.
