Copyright infringement

With stunning arrogance and a rude attitude, two of my photos were stolen and were for sale on www.zazzle.com This company had the guts to put their watermark on my photos! They even protected the photos from being copied. I tried repeatedly to contact the manager, but he was never available. As a member of ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers), I got in touch with three copyright lawyers. The outcome from all three was very similar: "This is a stunning example of copyright infringement, but there is not much you can do since you have not registered your pictures. A lawyer's fee will most likely cost you much more than you will gain from a law suite."

Now I have registered many of my photos at the Copyright Office. This is a stupid system, but that is how it works.

I am still, since 2008, waiting for an apology, and a statement of how much Zazzle.com made from selling my photos.

 

Victor Perlman, General Counsel and Managing Director at ASMP, explains the importance of copyright registration in the USA:

"There is no copyright registration system in most of the world outside the U.S. The trade-off, and the reason why we encourage photographers to register their images as quickly as possible, is that registration BEFORE an infringement takes place allows the photographer to ask the court 1) to award statutory damages (which can be as much as $150,000 per work) instead of having to prove actual damages and 2) probably more importantly, to make the other side pay the photographer’s legal fees. For that reason, registration before the infringement is usually the deciding factor in whether a case is financially worth pursuing and in whether a good copyright lawyer might take the case on a contingency fee basis."
