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."

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

Mutt · 06-24-2008, 04:29 PM

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.

johnny o · 06-24-2008, 04:29 PM

good luck collecting the judgement

d-null · 06-24-2008, 04:37 PM

interesting

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