Default Re: Photographer awarded 12 million for copyright infringement

I have not followed the case, but you can ask for a judgment for 54 million over a pair of lost pants, but collecting is another matter.

What will end up happening here is peoples lives will be trashed over a simple photograph. How sad.

The lost pants people are out hundreds of thousands of dollars for misplacing a pair of pants for a month. I feel the courts are out of control because we have cranked out a system that allows this nonsense to take place. We are all the big losers in this.
