                  For the actual damages, the court held that "Plaintiff has demonstrated that she would have charged $58,760.00 for an unlimited, non-exclusive license to use the copyrighted works in question."
                  60 grand a month to use some images?????

                    Absolutely, good for her ! Whether she will collect or not that is another matter, but there is a precedent now for others to follow

                      She'll collect if they have assets - it's pointless to sue somebody who doesn't have anything - blood from a stone.

                      as for the huge damages award - i think if the defendant appealed that it would get knocked down quite a bit but by registering your content with the Copyright Office you ensure that you will get statutory damages which are large.

                          interesting

                          so there was no onus on her to request that they stop the use of the photos first?
