The site owner responds to it and explains to me why they are not violating my copyright. I disagree and we end up in court. The court sides with the site. I honestly felt they were violating my copyright, but the court didn't agree with me.

In your opinion is that a bogus claim?
I don't really see how the court could decide like this. What type of content are we talking about? If he steals a full movie of yours there is no way on earth the court will not see it your way. If its just one pic who cares?

Bottom line is: the offending site either has a permit to use your shit or you win in court
