sued by someone and they have won? I find all this copyright stuff a load of crap being who would use the money to sue you when they probably couldn't win anyway except Google and the big companies Any stories?
There are thousands of such cases, you just need to do a little research. Here is one smaller case which the defendant was ordered to pay $19,462 (and apparently did). http://www.phototour.minneapolis.mn.us/essays/copyright_lawsuit Most smaller sites settle and pay a usage fee (which can be thousands per image) before it ever gets to court.
