Well considering that I also sell photography for stock for mainstream, locally as well as internationally, it's given me a lot more insight (as well as the need for several lawyers) into international conventions. Regardless of punitive damages, copyright is mine the second the shutter clicks. Even if I don't go for punitive damages, I can still sue for copyright violation, which is a federal offence in many countries, and punishable by federal fines and prison time.
