MLeeK said:This isn't the PENAL system here. Quite obviously your lawyer sucks. Any copyright laywer worth his salt would have insured that the case be heard AND that the law be heard AND when the judge was too lazy to hear the case and dismissed it, would have filed beyond that. Copyright cases are heard every day. For ONE image. ONE. That's it.
Right, my lawyer sucks. That's why he's gotten me out of so many situations I could have served HARD time for, because he sucks.
You can believe what you want, but what I'm saying is real, and it happens every single day. If you honestly think that your image is worth a $1500+ lawyer and court fees so that the defendant has to pay you $250-500 for "altering your work" and get a slap on the hand, I'd have to say I question your logical decision making skills.
Like I said before. I'm not saying that it's ok to do it. However, I am saying that most of the time, you're going to find that the lawyer wants to send them a "please stop" letter before ever taking something like this to court.
